I know this is not directly on-point with the conversation, but as a tangential consideration and since it had been mentioned by others, I wanted to add a bit of clarification.
Trust me...I'm pretty familiar with Colorado law re: DV. I also believe the Lautenberg Amendment that allows for ex post facto punishment is unconstitutional.
