Original Note:
Courts have applied the Eighth Amendment to civil fines in narrow cases, so this post's opinion isn't too farfetched. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt8-3/ALDE_00000962/ Since this $454 million judgement is only disgorgement and interest, an Eighth Amendment challenge is unlikely to succeed, but isn't completely frivolous. https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/decisions/trump-decision.pdf
