it doesn’t change my contention that ex post facto applies to perps, not victims. It applies to people being prosecuted for crimes prior to a law being enacted, not freeing victims of laws badly written.

Do you have any basis for that contention or are you just makin' it up as you go along? How about some support? So far, the Constitution seems to be working against you when talking about the powers of Congress:

No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

As I said, a comment indicating such was posted a couple times over the last year by posters who represented themselves as attorneys. Since you’ve got such a nut on about it and also since it seems to be the mountain you’re willing to die on, I’ll check with our resident constitutional attorney, who happens to be a friend of mine.

If I do establish this can be done, will you admit that you’ve had almost two years to get your supporting congresscritters to do such (which would result in the immediate freeing of Ramos and Compean) and that instead you’ve been writing letters and attending/organizing rallies demanding a pardon, inciting stupid ass conspiracy theories about the New World Order, and in general have been using and perpetrating the issue to advance your border security efforts at the expense of Ramos, Compean and their families?

Hmmmm? Care to put reputation where you’re mouth is?
