1. Roberts has a young son. Scalia raised a number of children
as did Kennedy. Thomas has a son, I think.

Any responsible person who is or has a parent should at least want to control the sale of violent video games to young children.

I think that if the Court can find a way, the California law will be upheld -- but the justices may not be able to justify upholding and remain consistent with their legal (read political) philosophy, so -- it's a toss-up.

But, remember, sometime around 1995 or 1996, the Supreme Court issued a surprising ruling in a commerce case that involved the right to have a gun in the back of your car near a school (I think that was the subject matter of the case). Seemed to me that their desire to cater to the gun lobby was greater than their dedication to consistency in the law (although I agreed with the decision in that case), so we shall see.
