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."

One-Page Judgment?

More like one-sentence judgment. Wow:

"IT IS ORDERED that the motion for leave to file an amicus curie brief be and is hereby DENIED."

But it's not, because fornic- isn't the root to a second-declension(-us, -i nouns), it's fornix, fornicis meaning an arch(which is where the prostitutes hung out). Would be more like Fornicatione Ita!(you can reverse, word order doesn't matter here) pronounced four-nick-aht-ee-own-ay ee-tah.(The important part is that the e isn't silent)
