Feels like they could use this approach for all kinds of abuses: they remove fingernails, hang and quarter a pedophile, convicted pedophile. No mistake there - they did it to a real pedophile

People say, isn't that a cruel and unusual punishment, isn't that torture, isn't that against treaties America signed and the constitution and X number of other laws?

They could just reply "it is DISGUSTING TO ME that you defend a known pedophile! Why do you defend child abusers?"

Why not?

Can't they break every law they want now as long as they do it against "bad people" and then bludgeon any critics with how bad the people are they're mistreating?

We just need to keep pointing to their mistakes - in their haste, they are hanging people who turn out to have been falsely accused. If they skip due process, such mistakes are inevitable.
