The following link presents some questions that Ralph Nader proposed that the Senate judiciary committee ask Supreme Court jsutice nominee Roberts. In his remarks, Nader asks whether Roberts can pass the Thomas Jefferson litmus test exemplified by the following Jefferson quote:

"I hope we shall... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."

In other words, are you a corporate front-man judge or will you stand up for the people of this union by stanching the flow of blood wrought by corporate profiteers and big money men?
