NPLAC’s Five Questions are:

Do basic human rights come only from government or are they rooted in something that transcends government?

Is man’s inherent human nature fixed or does raw political power determine who is and is not a member of the human family?

Is law merely the construct of jurists and lawmakers or is it based on first principles of morals and justice?

Is the proper role of the judiciary to restrain/limit itself to interpreting law or does it possess de facto legislative powers?

Should the judiciary share power equally with the other two branches of government (the legislative and executive) or should its powers transcend them?

Good questions. I see this group submitted them to the Senate for Roberts' hearing, but I don't recall anybody asking anything about the first three questions.

I'd like to see Brownback asking the first three questions of her.
