Judge Bans Thompson from LA Videogame Case
BluePariah writes "The ever-vigilant folks at Game Politics are reporting that Federal District Court Judge James Brady has refused Jack Thompson's request to file an amicus curiae brief in the lawsuit over Louisiana's videogame law." From the article: "Thompson, of course, was heavily involved in the Louisiana statute, helping Rep. Roy Burrell (D) draft the underlying legislation, HB 1381. The anti-game attorney claimed in his request to the court that Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti, a named defendant in the case, approved of Thompson's amicus motion. As previously reported here on GamePolitics, Thompson's request to file an amicus brief - if granted - would have permitted the long-time video game industry nemesis to provide information to the court even though he is not a party to the lawsuit."
Let me be the first to say... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... It's about time judges started giving Jack Thompson the respect he deserves.

For those of us (like me) who aren't lawyers, an Amicus curae is a "friend of the court". In other words, he testifies to the court about what he knows about an issue. Apparently the courts have decided that he doesn't know Jack.

i suspect, that if his motion had been granted and they lost that somehow or another, JT would not have ended up being a co-payer of any settlemnt.
Judge to jack: learn 2 play
I still have more fans than freaks. WTF is wrong with you people?
Fuckus yeahus?
Did anyone else hear the UT 2k4 announcer's voice when they read "DENIED"? I wonder if amicus curiae is latin for Redeemer Missile...
Demented But Determined.
Well, considering how many lawyers there are around I can only assume shooting them must be illegal:/

That's okay. I think it's just a $50 fine if you do. You should be able to mail it in.

It's not just that shooting lawyers is illegal, it's that it doesn't work! Damn lawyers must be playing in God mode or something...

How is the Riemann zeta function like Trump rallies? Both have an endless number of trivial zeros.
More like "BOOM! HEADSHOT!"
I'm gonna go play my extremely violent tetris now, k?

Don't you just love politics? It's like a comedy of errors.
