"Torture is Peachy, Constitution-wise," Scalia

Go read the transcript of Justice Scalia's interview on "60 Minutes" last Sunday. Scalia doesn't approve of torture, but he thinks as far as the Constitution is OK, it's just peachy.

So let me get this straight. It is unconstitutional to use torture to extract confessions, which has been the law according to the Supreme Court for 70 years. Even Scalia concedes that it is unconstitutional to torture convicts.

But, according to Scalia, if the cops torture you just for shits and grins, that is not unconstitutional.

Think about that. If a cop pulls you out of your car, Tasers you to the ground and then beats you into a coma with his flashlight, that's going to be just peachy with Scalia and at least Thomas.
