LEGOist®

The new religion of creating art purely from LEGO® pieces. No other brand of construction blocks are acceptable to its followers.

My feet hurt... there's bits and pieces of LEGO® strewn all over that kid's bedroom floor. He's gotta be one mad LEGOist®.

legislate from the bench

What judges do when they hand down a decision you don't like.

The decision by the Ninth Circuit Court to ban roof-mounted bazookas on pickup trucks is a blatant example of judges who legislate from the bench.

New York Legislature

A group of individuals who collectively and persistently neglect their duties.

The errant soldiers were charged with being a New York Legislature because they left their posts without permission.

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?

legislator

One who authors and approves legislation on behalf of the populace, usually a representative such as a congressman or senator.

See conflict of interest and self-serving.

In a democracy, the authority to author and approve legislation would reside with the people. However, that would not be conducive to the job security of lawyers and politicians, so legislators make sure it isn't done that way.
