I largely agree. The question then becomes is it worse to have a uniform set of laws that deny the prohibition against ex post facto, or if it is worse to have an unequal set of laws that occasionalyl deny ex post facto. I argue the first, though obviously both are bad. David,

The Sexual Offender Act of 1994 and those like it create highly dubious ex post facto protections through sometimes severe public humiliation. There are a number of myths related to sex offenders and sexual predation which we should work to debunk -- including the demographics of the offenders and recidivism.
