cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex
a) a latin phrase meaning (original meaning): if the rationale behind a law fails, so should the law (i.e. it is potentially time to replace said law, since it may n o longer serve its intended purpose)
b) (my new and improved english translation of the phrase): a nicer way of saying ” repeal and replace” old and possibly antiquated laws)
can cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex, definition b) be applied, or should it even be applied, to obamacare?
