Not really, [United States v. Carlton (92-1941), 512 U.S. 26 (1994)]

"Provided that the retroactive application of a statute is supported by a legitimate legislative purpose furthered by rational means, judgments about the wisdom of such legislation remain within the exclusive province of the legislative and executive branches . . . ."
