Judge halts video game censorship law

This story is from last month, but we've got a backlog going back to 1993, so we gotta clear it out!

A federal judge has correctly ruled that California's 2005 law that prohibits the sale of "violent" video games to "minors" is unconstitutional. This verdict prompted an appeal threat from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger - which would waste taxpayers' dollars. Right-wing lawmakers who supported the unconstitutional law had claimed video games caused brain damage.

Isn't it ironic that of the 3 branches of government, the one that is not elected (the judicial branch) now has a better understanding of democracy than the 2 that are (the legislative and executive branches)? Now you know why the Constitution provides for a democratic republic with separation of powers.
