  Michigan Judge: Violent Video Game Ban Unconstitutional
  Tuesday, April 04, 2006
  
  DETROIT — A federal judge has ruled that a state law that bars retailers from selling or renting violent video games to minors is unconstitutional.
  
  The Entertainment Software Association, Video Software Dealers Association and Michigan Retailers Association, trade groups representing U.S. computer and video game publishers, filed the suit in September, charging that the law is unconstitutionally vague and violates the First Amendment right to free speech.
  
  Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed the law in September, and it was scheduled to take effect Dec. 1. But U.S. District Judge George Steeh issued a preliminary injunction in November, preventing the law from taking effect.
  
  Steeh's ruling Friday made the injunction permanent.
  
  "Video games contain creative, expressive free speech, inseparable from their interactive functional elements, and are therefore protected by the First Amendment," Steeh said in his ruling.
  
  Although courts have recognized that certain speech may be restricted when directed toward minors, the state failed to support its claim with substantial evidence that the games are likely to produce violent behavior, Steeh said.
  
  The judge also agreed with the plaintiffs' argument that the law was too vague.
  

How long before someone here uses this to challenge some arbitrary banning of a post as being too violently explicit? I've seen Judge steeh, and he has control of his court room. maybe someone can reach out and offer him a mod position?

Hmmmmm

ETA:

Speculation from the Quorom Report:Well, this explains the sudden interest in moving to Virginia.

Other Texas bloggers are speculating that he's waiting until June so there's not enough time for a special election AND the general election in November. Given how the primaries shook out, it's not out of the realm of probability that Nick Lampson would win the a special election (especially with those yahoos all running and the fact that all it takes is a majority to win) and then Lampson would go in as the incumbent in November.

Move to Virginia? I think he should do the honorable thing, like Frankie Pentangeli.

Well, it looks like Representative #2 is probably in much deeper shit, so I'm sure this DeLay thing will blow over now that he's resigned.

I'm sure Representative #1 had a nice long chat with his lawyers this weekend, too.

Nah, not really.

Hmmm..... let's see.

The first to respond with substance was Gatti:

"twit." "assaulted." "idiocy."

Then, RT:

"real moron." 'course, i guess the story about her pen could be seen as a resounding defense (if you're an idiot)


Not Bob did say this:

But he also said, at the end of his judge hypo, this:


I said

And Shifty pointed out that McKinney is not remotely significant.


I could go on and on, but I think even a moron like you gets it by now. 3 or 4 "of us" didn't say a fucking thing in her defense, or "jump in" about how "the cops were at fault.". NB made the only statements that were even moderately in her favor, and even those were barely lukewarm.

The statements that were in McKinney's defense were quotes, mostly if not entirely of McKinney herself, and mostly posted by the Republicans on this board. You can let your feverish imagination run wild, to think that every Dem jumped on her bandwagon. But it's just your feverish imagination talking, nothing more.

What does that have to do with Clinton's impeachment?

W-A-T-E-R.

In defense of McKinney
 

What's funniest, or scariest, maybe both, is that years later you still don't get it. I'm never feverish here because i don't give a fuck. i think the same is true for Spank- i know it was true of Penske. And the only one who does get actually worked up, time and time again, is ole Sidd "i'll get Thurgreed after you" Finch.

And, besides, it was after noon - somewhere. So you were already potted.

In defense of McKinney
 

Hankypoo, Spanky is serious about this shit. I've met the man, and I think we can all remember just how bad he is at getting sarcasm, etc.

As for you, keep on telling yourself, and us, that every time someone points out how ridiculous you are, you were really just stirring shit up and the joke's on them. Are we gonna have the evolution talk again? Dinosaurs on noah's ark and all that?

In defense of McKinney
 

Yes. that was always my point. Evolution is foolish and I was arguing for Creationism. You are very perceptive!

In defense of McKinney
 

Yes. Hank ipsa loquitur.

In defense of McKinney
 

There were no dinosaurs on the Ark. That's why they're extinct. Duh.
