On constitutional matters like this, I am happy the SC actually follows the letter of the constitution. It forbids ex-post-facto laws. This was an ex-post-facto law.

Oh, that the SC would follow the letter of the constitution on Abortion, Sodomy and all the other penumbras and emanations it has discerned out of nothingness.

As sick as what these animals were convicted for, I have to say, however reluctantly, that the Nine made the correct ruling on this one. ex post facto cannot be tollerated in any case. Think of what would happen if the the state increased the fine for speeding to $1000 then tried to collect the high fine from every person ticketed ten years before the law was enacted.
