I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. If a democracy can't repeal a law that's proven to be an error, you'll have quote a dysfunctional system.
Ex post facto (in the Constitution, at least) refers specifically passing a law making an action illegal and punishable after the fact. Actions can only be illegal according to the law in force at the time they were taken.
