The Supreme Court clearly stated that no matter how heinous the game, it is the parents – not the government – who are responsible for supervising their children

Funny it often doesn’t seem that way when it comes to sex education in school or corporal punishment the government is ready to take over the parents job.

But when it comes to keeping porn or violent entertainment material from your kids; hey you parents step up to the plate.

But the issue was whether the government has the right to restrict their sale, or whether the responsibility for such restrictions belongs in the hands of parents.

Actually, the Framers would argue that the right (power, really) to restrict such sales belongs to the States or to the people.

Thomas’s dissent is a great read. He reveals himself as being the only strict originalist left of the Supreme Court.

“Too often, kids are told that they don’t have to listen to their parents, because there is a government agency chock-full of bureaucrats ready to help”.

Well now... Suppose my freedom of expression is driving passing stopped school buses and driving drunk past schools. Then no government bureaucrat has the right to restrict me, it's up to the parents to teach their children to move fast and look both ways.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to drive so but just in case let's make sure they have a “right” to! It's freedom! tra la la.

It may the worst swill ever but it's Bruce's line of blow.
