Where do you draw the line at representation? What can’t your representitives do? What laws can they not enact on your behalf?

The line? For a State law to be struck down by the Supreme Court it should be that the law violates either the U.S. or the State’s Constitution which in the case of the CA law it did not. There is no Constitutional protection for children to purchase violent video games out in the market place or for adults to sell them to children. This is a very bad ruling by the Court.

The same type of laws outlawing certain products from being sold to minors already exist in the case of alcohol and pornography. This precedent by the Court opens up many paths for radical activists to seek futher limitations in the future on any community standards people may seek through their representatives in regards to children.
