Archbishop Chaput Weighs in On Supreme Court Case Involving Violent Video Games

Archbishop Chaput weighs in over at First Thing on the Supreme Court's Video games and minors case ( Brown v EMA ) at Firsts Things . See Violent Video Games and the Rights of Parents.

He is not a fan. Archbishop Chaput was one several voices , both supporting and opposing the opinion of the Court, that has articles at First Things. For a list of links see Mirrors of Justice post First Things on Violent Video Games.

Brown v EMA is a interesting case because many people , myself included, found themselves in agreement and disagreement with various parts of the opinion that is find in the majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions. I will lay my cards down on the table what I think of this case in a later post this weekend perhaps.

Chaput deftly plays the "big corporation" card" in his piece. While that plays to a certain crowd I am not sure how far that goes. In fact many of the video games that are on Justice Alito's list of games of horror are ones that a person must really search out to find. In other words they are not being sold at Wal Mart. He really focuses on the Justice Thomas dissenting opinion in which I will be engaging where I agree and disagree later.
