Musgrave Votes For Torture, Against Constitution

See here. Musgrave votes to approve the Torture Bill (which also wreaks havoc on the right of Habeus Corpus). This bill as presented directly violates two Constitutional provisions; from Article I, Section 7:
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.

And, as detailed below, the 8th Amendment:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Musgrave Must Go
