2. The master cannot be indicted...
"It has been decided by this court, in Turner's case, that the owner of a slave, for the malicious, cruel, and excessive beating of his own slave, cannot be indicted. * * It is the policy of the law in respect to the relation of master and slave, and for the sake of securing proper subordination and obedience on the part of the slave, to protect the master from prosecution, even if the whipping and punishment be malicious, cruel, and excessive." -- 7 Grattan, 673, 1851, Souther vs. Commonwealth.

5. Very nice!
This is how an originalist like Scalia justifies his comments about torture not being "punishment".

Thank you.= for posting this.

6. The Catholic Church...
during the Inquisition(s)...called it "saving the soul".

scalia, I believe, knows Catholic history.

*requisite disclaimer: no, no, and no, I am not attacking Catholics. This is about the leadership of "the Church".

8. I'm fascinated by these "originalists"...
