The text of the Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 is "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."

A Bill of Attainder is basically creating a crime and punishment on the spot to target an individual. Our Constitution outlawed it, and all ex post facto laws, as noted above.

As in retroactive tax increases billed by the IRS in clear violation of the ex post facto clause, and the Kenyan usurpation where the requirements for POTUS were summarily ignored to elect a communist candidate, and the open borders policy and its sequelae where illegal invaders from other countries come here, work and practice professionally, get elected to office, and whose felony entries are ignored by the millions...

As in all these things, the problem with the country is not the law or the Constitution, but the total lack of law enforcement.

And beneath that, and perhaps the graver lesion, is the lack of concern among everyone that this situation is fatal.

If we allow the lawless Democrats to act with impunity, then, the Unites States eventually falls apart.

Civil ex post facto laws are legal and are passed all the time. Criminal ex post facto laws are unconstitutional.

We have a lot of work to do.
