Today is the Big Day! The SCOTUS Case



For many gamers, and non-gamers, you know that today is a big day in gaming history. The Supreme Court is hearing from Schwarzenneger and the EMA/ESA. For those who don't know what is going on, they are battling over whether or not video games should be allowed the same First Amendment rights as other forms of entertainment. Schwarzenneger is trying to say that video games shouldn't be allowed the same rights. While I do have school and a funeral today, I will do my best to keep you up to date on what is happening, seeing as I can't be in DC (unfortunately).

If you want to read up more on the case, go here.

*UPDATE*
Well Wednesday came and went and to be quite honest it looks like the ESA may actually win this thing. Why? Well you have this person to thank: Ruth Ginsburg.
Here is the transcript of the case from IGN:

They have until June of next year to decide. What do you think from this transcript?
