Are there no restraints built into the constitution ...
... concerning punishments fitting the crime when it comes to statutary law? Does this mean that it is perfectly legal for Congress to pass a law stating that it is e.g. okay to amputate a man's hands (or even hang him), if is found that he steals music files - in order to obtain a deterrent effect?
