Elevation Cessation

The letdown experienced after standing in an elevator, doors almost closed, and someone activates the sensor in a last minute attempt to board by pressing the outside button or waving a hand between the doors.

I was in a full elevator and experienced Elevation Cessation when Harold did a mean karate chop between the doors, trying to board.

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?
