For what? Giving absurd legal advice?

Well, the legal advice certainly wasn't unconstitutional. At most, the torture was.

Perhaps you mean providing a legal rationale for unconstitutional conduct; but that's a laughably unworkable rule. It would be unworkable enough in a world inhabited purely by originalists. In our age of the "living Constitution," it's about as feasible as outlawing all conduct inconsistent with goodness and niceness.
