Do you think that Robert knowingly swore in a man he knew was not eligible?

No. As evidenced by the Scalia quotes, these justices don't seem to be fully prepped on the Court's own precedence in defining natural-born citizen.

Roberts could have resigned. Could have refused to administer the oath - he is untouchable.

Roberts isn't the one who should resign because Obama is ineligible. That would be stupid. And as far as administering the oath, we all know how it was botched. But it's moot anyway. Had he not done it, then someone else would have. It's not the Chief Justice's position to arbitrarily decide not to swear in an electee. Again, if you think this is a Constitutionally prescribed part of the process, then let's see some evidence to back this up.

So the top conservative legal minds in America are merely ignorant. Got it.

Perhaps Leo should invite them over for some poker and a lesson in Constitutional law. Because there is no doubt that Leo is the go to guy on this issue.
