**I put their fate in the hands of Almighty God. May those members of the court receive His justice--and contemplate it in eternity.**

So, then, nothings changed. Their fate always was and always will be in the hands of the Master of the Universe.

**I reckon that some of them lawmaking folks forgot about that part of the Constitution that denies the states the right to pass any ex post facto law.**

The constitution explicitly says that the government cannot enact a law that would punish someone for an act that was not subject to punishment at the time the law was passed. California cannot simply ignore the statute of limitations.

The constitution explicitly says that the government cannot enact a law that would punish someone for an act that was not subject to punishment at the time the law was passed.

Not really. Ex post facto has always meant that the government can't punish someone for an act that was not subject to said punishment at the time act was committed.
