lochnerize 

This term describes a method of legal reasoning where a court substitutes its policy judgment for a legislature in overturning legislation. This term was popularized after the now overturned decision of Lochner v. New York.
When the court struck down the legislation setting maximum work hours for bakers, they were clearly lochnerizing.

To get Lornered, or to get drunk, is to consume copious ammounts of alcohol/hard-drugs; until one's self has removed any potential memorys of the night. Getting Lornered is also associated with "getting with" or "getting on" as many people as possible, of the same or other sex. Post-Lornering denial is also common, in which one would completely deny the events of the previous night.
