SCOTUS hears Terminator v. EMA arguments today

U.S. Supreme Court Weighs Violent Video Game Ban:
The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments today in Schwarzenegger v. EMA, a case in which the video games industry seeks to challenge a California law banning the sale of violent video games to minors. California claims that the law, which has never gone into effect, helps parents shield their children from harmful matter, even though ESRB ratings already provide one way for consumers to judge a game's content.
In the heady, early days of Triptych Cryptic, one of the original Cryptonauts was all over Lieberman and the rest of the anti-violent video game movement. Honestly, I thought the labels on games had resolved their concerns ages ago, didn't realize this had been bubbling up to the Supremes. (This post can be seen as comment-bait to see if I can draw out Mega ... let's see how long he leaves me hanging.)
