Wall Street Journal, April 14, 2002
A bill has been introduced in Congress to ban the production and sale of video games with "objectionable" content. The Video Game Content Regulation Act, introduced by Representative Jim Sensenbrenner(R-WI), calls for the banning of any game with "gratuitous violence, sexual themes, or other morally questionable content." Critics note that the bill, if signed into law, would outlaw all video games rated higher than "T" by the ESRB.

VIDEO GAME CONTENT REGULATION ACT KILLED IN HOUSE
New York Times, April 21, 2002
The Video Game Content Regulation Act has been killed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 57 to 42. Video game companies everywhere have breathed a sigh of relief. Representative Sensenbrenner has refused to acknowledge defeat, saying he will re-introduce the bill when "the American people have elected more friendly voices."
The story continued, A spokesperson for the video game industry quipped, "Representative Nonsenenbrenner needs to read the Constitution, especially that bit about freedom of the press. The moral character of children is the provence of their parents; children spend more time with their parents than they spend with a video game. If that's not the case then the family has bigger problems than the childrens' choice of entertainment."
