The U.S. Supreme Court, wading into a clash between free-speech rights and laws protecting children, agreed today to decide whether California can ban the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. The Court will review the 9th Circuit's decision to throw out California's ban; the federal appeals court said the law violated minors' constitutional rights under the First and 14th Amendments. The law never took effect, and was challenged shortly after it was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
