Ryanlindly legal Great analysis, Legal Lad- I completely agree. I've seen various populist postings condemning the retroactive immunity by invoking the ex post facto clause- and that is frustrating. They don't understand that by condemning the actions with the ex post facto clause, they condemn all retroactive mitigation of sentences- potentially a great boon for the people. I've been posting on such sites to alert people to their flawed analysis, now I'll just link your article. http://legallad.quickanddirtytips.com/legal-ex-post-facto.aspx?commentid=11943#Comments http://legallad.quickanddirtytips.com/legal-ex-post-facto.aspx?commentid=11943#Comments Sat, 08 Mar 2008 22:50:59 GMT Sat, 08 Mar 2008 22:50:59 GMT http://legallad.quickanddirtytips.com/legal-ex-post-facto.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
