I suppose none of the super intelligent, highly educated, more than wonderful, legal minds (ON BOTH SIDES) ever read or understood what the 8th Amendment is.
In the vain hope that they know how to comprehend English sentences and in the vainer hope that they might read this, the 8th Amendment says: “EXCESSIVE BAIL SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED, NOR EXCESSIVE FINES IMPOSED, NOR CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENTS INFLICTED.”
That makes 3 Constitutional amendments which have been violated in this case, all in the name of homosexual rights. The 1st (of course), the 13th (involuntary servitude), and as you point out the 8th. In addition, the Constitution of the state of WA clearly states, SECTION 11 RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. Absolute freedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment, belief and worship, shall be guaranteed to every individual, and no one shall be molested or disturbed in person or property on account of religion...(Article 1, section 11)
None of it matters in the face of the political elites forcing homosexuality on the nation.
