See admitted crimes of previous administration.
Also, most folks support the rule of law only when it comes to laws that don't adversely affect them. I don't think you'll find much support for the rule of law on the freeway, where typical speeds routinely exceed the legal speed limit. This is a microcosm of the average person's respect for the rule of law: laws are difficult to pay attention to if they aren't displayed in front of a backdrop of significant consequences.

Alright Filtherton. Give me the specific statutes/treaties/articles and the manners in which the administration tortured people. Feel free to cite newspapers, and cases. Also make sure that the acts you cite are indeed torture, and prosecutable, punishable offenses.
