Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Most people would consider torture to be cruel… maybe even unusual.
Isn't that what makes it torture?

“Torture” works every time it’s tried. The commie libs haven’t a clue. That’s why it has been used since the beginning of time.

If we have justifiable murder. Then there also must be justifiable torture.

The Constitution may be silent on torture, but the liberals have tortured the Constitution.

People forget that "The English Common Law" was followed by the Founders, both individual and by States. The Common Law had abandoned torture in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Founders knew this and did not feel the need to include a prohibition against torture in the Constitution.
Secondly, I am skeptical with regard to calling water boarding, diapers, etc. torture. See the Spanish Inquisition for a definition of real torture.

I totally agree with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. When it might come to thousands be killed by an insane individual I would kick the shi! out of him to find out how. Enough!
