See the 8th amendment..

And stop wasting my time with nonsense.

The 8th is about cruel and unusual punishment against US citizens, accused or convicted of crimes. Funny thing was, is that they never defined what cruel and unusual punishment was, or torture for that matter. Even after it was written. back then it was legal to kill, draw and quarter US citizens for acts of treason. Do you consider that torture or cruel and unusal punishment?
