Ex post facto laws are expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3. Prohibits Government fron assessing a fine for not baking a lesbian wedding cake after the fact.
The government unconstitutionally assessed a $135,000 fine against Sweet Cakes by Melissa because the owners, the Klein’s, refused to bake a cake for a lesbian couple. Government cannot assess a fine unless there’s a law that gives them the power to do it. In the case of baking a lesbian wedding cake there’s no law that gives government the power to assess a $135,000 fine so the government assessment of a $135,000 fine violates the Constitution.
In fact the Klein’s can get a lawyer and sue the government for violating the Constitution.
