Continuing this week's look at the Supreme Court, comics & cartoons, here's the ruling mentioning @cbldf: Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association. SCOTUS: California law regulating video game violence did not survive First Amendment strict scrutiny. supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf… 
What's an amicus brief? Amicus curiae is Latin for "friend of the court." An amicus brief (amici = plural) provides info or arguments from someone who is not a party to the dispute. Here's the @CBLDF amicus brief in Brown v. EMA: sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/upl…
By the time of the Court's ruling the Governor of California was Jerry Brown, but when @cbldf submitted its amicus the gov was someone known worldwide for his efforts to curb visual representations of violence: Arnold Schwarzenegger (cartoon by MAD's Mort Drucker)
Above comment /s, of course. (thread by Interim Director #jefftrexler, FYI - all opinions my own)
