Good for Pfizer. Being tortured for two hours while dying from some combination of poison is still not cruel and unusual punishment? What exactly do American courts consider cruel and unusual if being tortured to death while in great pain for hours isn't considered so? If this torture lasted two days, weeks, months, years, or decades instead of two hours would that be cruel and unusual? Going by what happens at Guantanamo Bay, it would seem not. What things have been declared cruel and unusual punishment in the past, if any? Slavery is legal as punishment. Does that mean rape is too? Beating, shocking, waterboarding, and other forms of torture are all legal even when they lead to the death of the prisoner. Does America actually have a line it won't cross, or is the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment just a bunch of bullshit written in a constitution that is largely ignored? Seems to be mainly the latter.
