Unlike the 1st time, the DOJ is not overstepping it's bounds by trying to rewrite the statute, this time they are merely enforcing the statute based on congressional intent.

IMO the best we can hope for with our comments is to make the cross referencing and other such requirements less burdensome.
Can that be enforced by law? I mean isn't this regulation EX POST FACTO (after the fact) which is expressly prohibited by the United States Constitution...

Article 1, Section 9, United States Constitution says "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."
