21st Century Book Burning

Illinois lawmakers pass video game ban - Yahoo! News

"Similiar legislation passed in Washington state, Indiana and Missouri has been struck down by federal courts, who have considered those bans to violate the terms of the First Amendment."


I can't stand it when Democrats, in the guise of "what will we tell the children? (gasp)," go along with legislation that will immediately be struck down by the courts.

My adopted state is famous for this; our Democrats will go along with all kinds of conservative bullshit to appease the knuckledragging constituents in their district.

In the end, what have they gained? Do they really think some Republican redneck will suddenly say "well, Hell, maybe those "librul queer luvers ain't so bad" ? Not likely.
