Thompson Denied In Louisiana Video Game Law Case

Jack ThomsponJack Thompson, self-proclaimed "only officially certified sane lawyer in the whole state of Florida", has been prevented from making his own case in defense of Louisiana's game-restriction law - a piece of legislation that he himself helped draft.

A report from Game Politics said that the judge presiding over the case has denied Thompson's attempt to file an amicus curiae brief. An amicus curiae ("friend of the court", for all us linguistically challenged folks) is someone who isn't a party to a lawsuit, but wants to bring up information and arguments that might now otherwise be heard. Kinda like a gatecrasher. The game industry had opposed Thompson's motion to file as a friend of the court, while Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti, a defendant in the case, had, not surprisingly, approved of it.

The Louisiana law was signed by the governor and went into immediate effect last month, but the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) and the Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA) quickly filed suit to have it overturned. In one of those rare cases where immediate legal action was taken, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the law from being enforced only a day after it was signed.

Right now, the case is waiting for the judge's ruling on whether or not to turn the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) into a preliminary injunction against the law.

Jack thomson is being consumed by his idealistic crusade to get violent games restricted or banned. He will merely be a footnote in history and his tireless work will amount to nothing but his own name....Jack! Don't worry for mature rational gamers this man cannot and will not affect the games we play and love. he puts in all this effort and gets nothing in return..what a shame. Actually...no..its not a shame. He must cry into his pillow at night wondering why people dont take him seriously!

this guy is gay. if he really hates violence so much he should spend more time prosecuting people who actually killed people instead of targeting people and things that create fake violence. maybe he just cant tell the difference between the two. guess hes not that sane after all...

How does this piece of s*it help draft game legislation? Is he some kind of expert? That's like having the antichrist drafting a resolution on world peace (actually he may be.) I'm sure the bill has provisions to let scandalous lawyers ass rape video game developers for something impossible for an intelligent person to determine as their fault. He sure isn't a amicus curiae (friend of court) because half the s*it he does is ruled unconstitutiona l! Get a real job you scandalous motherf*cker!
