social selfie

social selfie

( to be abbreviated soc-fie):

A selfie one specifically takes in order to put on their social media profiles like Facebook and Instagram.

Since I don't use social media all that much I don't care whether or not my social selfie is considered broccoli-art, or whether or not it passed your picture test

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?
