FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:

OVERVIEW

Taxpayers, Anthony and Mildred Licari, appeal the Tax Court's application of a 25% penalty pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6661 to their undisputed understatement of tax liability. The Licaris contend that retroactive application of the 25% penalty, rather than the 10% penalty rate that applied at the time they filed their tax returns, violated their constitutional rights.1 We affirm.
