Anti Videogame Judge Seeks Re-election In Missouri

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the probably-not-the-best-suited dept.

nevarre writes, "US District Judge Stephen Limbaugh (yes, he IS related to Rush) along with other local judges will be up for retention vote status this November 7th on the Missouri state ballot. You may remember him from his ruling in 2002 that videogames are not a conveyance for ideas and are therefore not protected as 'free speech' even though he felt that stopping fax spam would violate 'commercial speech' protections under the First Amendment."

    Well, with as many trekkies as slashdot has....more than a few are bound to be Klingon, so sins of the father being visited on the son wouldn't be out of place for them.

    And before you all flame me, I'm a trekkie too, though I'm more like Morn than any Klingon. I'd be perfectly happy to sit at the bar and drink all day. :)
