There's an old saying...."People wouldn't need lawyers if it weren't FOR lawyers!"
Lawyers have argued cases before the courts concerning the issue of "cruel and unusual punishment."
Whipping in the US would be considered just that because of our society's standards.

well, in the U.S. anyways, this would be considered these days as "cruel" and "unusual" punishment, which is a violation under the constitution
