If Supreme Court precedent is so clear cut then Chief Justice Roberts would not have sworn in Obama.

This is a logical fallacy (one of many logical fallacies employed by Obots). A supreme court justice does NOT have the individual authority to nullify an electee from taking office. Feel free to cite whichever part of the Constitution you believe supports the idea that a Chief Justice could do this arbitrarily and independently.

So Justice Roberts was helpless to stop a crime? Not only that, he had no choice but to swear in a man he knew was not eligible? Surely Roberts could have refuse to participate?

An honorable man in that position would have resigned.

What you are saying is that Roberts, Scalia and Thomas have no honor. That they would knowingly violate their oaths to protect the Constitution.
