Yoo specifically endorsed the idea that the President had the inherent authority to order the torture of children if that could force their father to talk and was not bound by any treaty or domestic law under the doctrine of the “unitary executive”, and he was the man who wrote the memos allowing torture to happen.

no, he said there was no law to stop it… that is different from recommending it.
