      Scalia is one of the smarter people on the panel. Leftists don't like him, but thats a good thing.

      What are you talking about spanky? This guy is a fucking moron, and not only that... He is indeed wrong. This dude is a smug, self loathing dip shit, who thinks having sex with children is okay... 'because he thinks that and is right'. Good job douche bag.

      this guy said torture isn't punishment. OK, except isn't the reason we torture people because they won't comply with our demands. Isn't that punishment? Now while I don't disagree with the use of extreme measures against these people given what we get in return from them. Make sure you bring A game intellectually when you give a fucking interview. Thats why this homo is a douche

      If used an interrogation tool it isn't punishment. The not torture part is just positive reinforcement.

      But he isn't being punished, hell nooooo... what would he be punished for...? That's my view and it happens to be correct.

  • smerf
    smerf 2008-04-30T06:02:01Z says:

    I guess the question is "why are they being tortured?"

    • Darktide5
      Darktide5 2008-04-30T13:05:46Z says:

      Exactly, If the torture isnt punishment, why is an authority figure torturing the accused? That would make it assualt.

    • vongoebel
      vongoebel 2008-04-30T13:14:21Z says:

      Yeah it's kind of funny that way, you see, laws don't effect lawmakers or those charged with enforcing the "laws", sure they might get a slap on the wrist, generally though the hammer only comes down on the rest of us bums. Except for a few, like that idiot Budd Dwyer, he would have got a slap on the wrist, but he decided to blow his brains out. What a moron. Google, or mucho him if you haven't seen it already.

    • smerf
      smerf 2008-04-30T15:22:11Z says:

      Well, no. The question I meant was: are they being tortured as a form of punishment, or to gather information?

    Pff, this guy is an amateur. A real torture fan would argue "Well we do it so often that it's not really 'unusual' anymore now is it?"

      'retainer' is that the term you use, wanko?

  • mas11262
    mas11262 2008-04-30T13:05:36Z says:

    This guys calls himself an "Originalist"...meaning that he takes the original interpretation of all documents created at the birth of our country. In 1776, the phrase "We The People", the word "People" only meant white males...so if this guy is a true Originalist, two third's of the US today are allowed the same rights and freedom's as "Whitey Whiteman"..he likes to play both sides..never showing his cards...a sad state for such a great country....

  • mas11262
    mas11262 2008-04-30T13:07:10Z says:

    Typo..sorry...I meant "are NOT allowed the same rights and freedom's"

    • DOERanger
      DOERanger 2008-04-30T18:18:58Z says:

      You're confused. Typo does not translate into, "Shit, I'm a dumbass for forgeting the reply button!"

    torture as a means of punishment is uncontitutional. as a means of gaining information it is not.

    • El_Wanko
      El_Wanko 2008-05-01T17:20:27Z says:

      Exactly, so we should only torture innocent people.
