Got one thing to say.
OUCH!
What manner of legislative and mental failure in the Oklahoma government resulted in that law being passed and signed in the first place. The ESA and EMA tore that law limb from limb in that brief, if the judge rules anything but Unconstituional, he should be removed from office for Judical failure.
Regardless, I'd love to see one of these laws get to the SCOTUS, and end this stupidity once and for all. But god help me, That this law was passed at all has nearly destroyed my faith in the american system of government.

I'm certain that the judge can rule mootness instead of unconstitutional. If violence is so pervasive that it serves as a thread holding the plot of the material together, it probably has at least some literary value. I think that MacBeth, Hamlet, and several similar plays already demonstrated this...

That would basically require the judge to rule in favour of the state, which would mean that the devil should know how to skate.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to keep track, when they're falling like flies.
It just means that future briefs will get even longer, as they quote every single video game law struck down in the past 2 years. They should have a quick tally at the start of all briefs "similar laws struck down in the last 2 years: #"

If the judge overturns the law, can't the state government appeal to a higher court? Isn't that what the Minnesota AG is doing now?
