How can an ex-post facto law be considered constitutional? What has happened to the strict constructionist approach to constitutional issues by Republican party???????

PS: What about upholding State's rights?

Civil rights issue? Bogus defense because this law just passed applies to one person only so that comparison can't be made.

The right to life trumps states' rights.

The Constitution does not allow the State to murder a U.S. citizen and gives the Congress the right to stop it.
