Come on. I struggle accepting that originalists even believe the bullshit that comes out of their own mouths. “Oh, the Constitution totally requires us to distinguish between superadded terror and regular old terror when figuring out whether we can inject a drug into your bloodstream that will cut off oxygen to your cells and thus effectively suffocate you from the inside out. That’s because the same people who would whip, mutilate, rape, and let dogs dismember enslaved humans only prohibited punishments that added unnecessary terror, pain, or disgrace.”
