Ammendment VIII ...U.S Constitution..."Cruel and Unusual Punshiments Inflicted".. [View all]

[Stuart G]

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

You be the judge...was what Bush and Cheney did...."cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" ?

Also from the U.S. Constitution...

"The Constitution is the supreme law of the land.."
Article Six, Clause two..

"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."


The Supremacy Clause is the provision in Article Six, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution that establishes the United States Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties as "the supreme law of the land." It provides that these are the highest form of law in the United States legal system, and mandates that all state judges must follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal law and either a state constitution or state law of any state.

Are Bush and Cheney above the U.S. Constitution??
