Either the Constitution means what it says OR it does not

The Constitution means what it says. It doesn't necessarily mean what you want it to say.

It says "No ex post facto Law," which was a technical legal term that had a well-established legal meaning in 1789.

Please expound and explain that then. Also be sure to include why the translation [of] “after the fact” is generally inappropriate.
