Yeah all of the Justices are big fans of the constituion. But I also agree that people have to use "unconstitutional" less. I mean here its fine but on alcohol taxes? C'mon you guys have half a brain right?Hking0036 said:

The current Justices weren't all appointed by Obama, at least one was appointed by Bush Jr. and Clinton and Bush Sr. and so on. They will not, and do not have to do what the President says.archvile93 said:
It's like Starke and MaxPowers666 have said, there's no telling what decision they're gonna come up with and we probably won't know tomorrow. I'll say that it's up in the air what they'll do but I'm thinking they'll come down on the side of the Constitution here and not what the idiot scare-mongering watchdog groups want.
It's the USSC, not "politicians". There's a difference.archvile93 said:
Theoretically just for those who don't meet the age requirements, but, in that case there would be a "chilling effect" on the industry. So, it would effectivly expand into being an outright ban.Snarky Username said:
It's idiotic. Minors have to have their parents with them to get M rated games, why would you ban the selling of any game? It's stupid and it does violate my constitutional rights. If we are going to annoy the game industry with this bullshit, then why not annoy the movies industry? I'm sixteen and the theaters let me into R rated movies without an adult.
I did a speech for my Speech class oddly enough about the effect of video games on minors and if it actually causes violence. Oddly enough, statistics prove it does not. They do these violence tests on little kids, six year olds, and if I remember correctly, when I was that age I was pretending to be the Men in Black. Six year olds are impressionable. So if you keep the current system and let parents have a better grasp of how video games are rated and all that kind of stuff, then maybe we wouldn't have to worry about this stupidity.

It looks like the 9th circuit ruling will be upheld. In part because California decided not to appeal their least restrictive alternative (which the 9th also struck down).Stryc9 said:
The biggest danger here is a split ruling, where both sides get some of the things they want, but my recollection is that that kind of ruling hasn't been in vogue for over a century.
What is disappointing (to me) is that neither side seems to have really done a good job with their cases. California never managed to shake the issue with films or the vagueness of the definition, and the EMA never manged to get the debate off children buying video games.
EDIT: ...or that the best solution in this case would be through more support from non-state actors.
There's some really funny stuff in the transcript if you have the hour to burn reading it, and enough familiarity with constitutional law to follow it.
Supreme Court judges aren't politicians. They actually went to college and earned legit degrees. And they also (usually) understand the Constitution.archvile93 said:
Umm decisions for SCOTUS don't come until March through June. That's a long wait.
It should also be noted that Leeland Yee (the guy who wrote the law) has stated that if he looses he will use the opinion of the judges to help him craft a new law. I voted for this Jackass and now I'm sorry I did. There are more important things out there then this for our legislators to address.
