"Cassel: If the president deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?

Yoo: No treaty

Cassel: Also no law by Congress - that is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo…

Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.

"

Answer 1

Yes and yes!

Answer 2

Well Supreme Court says no.

Answer 3

NO! The Supreme court has determined that we cannot execute someone for other than taking a life.

The rest of your question is unintelligible.

Answer 4

Yes, and yes. All rapists, murders, child molestors should be put to death.

Answer 5

Has any president ordered such treatment for a child?

Answer 6

Child rapists/torturers need to be executed, not living on the taxpayers money.

I don't accept the supposition about Presidents torturing children.

Answer 7

You better believe it!

I'd apply that to any cockroach who

allows 3 buildings to be demolished,

killing over 3,000, then has all the

evidence quickly hauled off to India

so nobody can prove what happened.

I'd apply that to some troll that gives

out "Presidential Directives" that go

against our Rule of Law and Constitution

and take away our civil rights.

I'd apply that to a psychopath who starts

an illegal war with a country that did

nothing at all to us, and ends up killing

over ONE MILLION of its innocent civilians;

as well as over 4,000 of our own soldiers.

Yep, we all need to apply some justice

to these parasitic elite criminals who have

hijacked our government.

Answer 8

If we were allowed to then we would have to put to death the whole  US military for torturing people in Iraq......

Answer 9

Absolutly

Answer 10

No.  It's just an easy way out for the criminal.  Here's my idea, a color coded inmate system.  Killers wear red.  Thieves/assault and other violent crime wear blue.  Druggies wear green.  Rapists wear pink, with the pedophiles having bonus yellow polka dots.  Put them all in general population and let nature take it's course.

Answer 11

Capital punishment is a crime in itself. Plus: it doesn't work.

Answer 12

Yes and yes

Answer 13

I believe that the death penalty should be available in certain situations . If the child is under eight or if the crime is severe this should be a option.

Answer 14

yes, they would deserve it. But what are you trying to get at with that president comment? What President would ever torture a child? How ignorant. Of course there are laws against domestic violence which that may fall into or at least some faction of assault or battery if he did it or ordered it. It also could be considered one of the reasons for Saddam's execution, "Crimes Against Humanity."  No President smart enough to get into office would be dumb enough to torture a child.

Answer 15

OF COURSE, but a dem would let them free because "they have rights too"
