@israelblog but also, we didn't restrict torture to non-citizens
@israelblog All I said was that the idea that the constitution is entirely silent on torture is ridiculous.

@wycats so Scalia’s point is not ridiculous. What is ridiculous is viewing the Constitution as an ethical document & a guide re: torture -
@israelblog I'm not interested in arguing about whether the constitution is an ethical guide. Thanks for the chat! -
@wycats no you are interested in making a point & sucking to it not apply logic & clear thinking

@wycats even in that narrow point, Scala is justified in saying “cruel & unusual” is irrelevant in interrogation which is not punishmentThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
