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."

  1. Editors Please Stop Using Slashdot As Your Soapbox by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Ever since this site was sold, and you guys started getting paid, this site isn't your personal playground anymore. You should be serving the readers first, instead of using the site as your own personal soapbox. We get you are left-leaning, anti-Bush, anti-conservatives, but you don't have to hit us over the head with it just before Election Day.

    I remember how badly you people wanted to Kerry to win in 2004, and how that totally blew up in your face when your candidate lost. Don't embarass yourselves again with more electioneering.
