Does the 8th amendment convey rights to non citizens and our enemies......?
do tell.....
From the preamble to the Bill of Rights:
THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.and the Eighth:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.The intent is simple: the Bill of Rights is not for Citizens, but for government, more specifically restraining it.
