"How can an ex-post facto law be considered constitutional? "
Ex-post facto means retroactive. That would be the equivilant of the law saying that the feeding tube that was pulled on Friday had to have not been pulled on Friday.
This law does not say that, or even that the feeding tube has to be re-inserted. It simply gives her parents standing before a Federal judge to review the case. If a federal judge determines to hear the case, he can at that point order the feeding tube re-inserted at that point.
