A cry of relief can be heard from gamers across America, as the Supreme Court today negated the passing of a law that sought to make it illegal to sell violent video games to minors.

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 7 to 2 to overturn a California law restricting the sale of computer and video games, stating that video games qualify for protection of free speech. More in the link.

California law to ban violent video games ruled out by Supreme Court -- PlayStation Universe

Now, this is what I'm talking about. I think this sets a very powerful precedent in regards to videogames and our 1st Amendment rights as American citizens. I completely agree with the decision though it makes one wonder, who were the 2 dissenting votes?
