32. I was thinking the same thing. But maybe there's a better way.

What if instead of passing a law outlawing waterboarding, Congress instead passed a non-binding resolution:

1) Recognizing that waterboarding is torture, has always been considered torture, and has always been illegal;
2) Recognizing that any international treaty signed by the United States and ratified by Congress is the highest law of the land, above even The U.S. Constitution, and includes The Geneva Convention, which outlaws torture.
