Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) Vice President and General Counsel Jennifer Mercurio has gained admission to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar and can now, should the need arise, appeal or argue any case in front of the nation’s highest court.
ECA President Hal Halpin on Mercurio’s admittance, “We couldn't be happier or more proud that Jenn was admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar. The timing of her admittance is critical and this landmark First Amendment case so consequential, and the potential negative repercussions of a loss so staggering, that we must all redouble our efforts.”
Mercurio is spearheading the ECA's efforts related to the association's official amicus brief ("friend of the court" document) for the Court in the upcoming violence in video games case, Schwarzenegger v. EMA.
Disclosure: GamePolitics is a publication of the ECA.
That being said, congrats Jenn!

MechaTama31: I mean, of the groups being bullied here, which of the two would you refer to collectively as "nerds"?10/19/2014 - 11:30pm
|
MechaTama31: But that's the thing, it doesn't sound to me like he is advocating bullying, it sounds like he is accusing the SJWs of bullying the "nerds", who I can only assume refers to the GGers.10/19/2014 - 11:21pm

Andrew Eisen: Interesting read. Unfortunately, too vague to form an opinion on but at least now I know what faefrost was talking about in James' editorial.10/19/2014 - 10:39pm

Neo_DrKefka: Only good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: Even after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: Which #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: I believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm

MechaTama31: Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm
|
MechaTama31: If anything, the sarcastic implication seems to be that the SJW crowd is bringing back the bullying of nerds. But it's the GGers who are out for his blood? I'm lost...10/19/2014 - 7:01pm
|
MechaTama31: I don't really get this Sam Biddle thing. The reaction to his tweets seems to be taking them at face value, but... they're tongue in cheek. Right?10/19/2014 - 7:00pm

Andrew Eisen: I have it. The problem, so far as I can tell, is neither of them allow me to overlay my webcam feed or text links to my Extra-Life fundraising page.10/19/2014 - 4:08pm

Re: ECA General Counsel Admitted to SCOTUS Bar
Good luck to ya Mercurio!!
At this point its feels like "the more the merrier" for both sides, and it would be interesting how many amicus briefs have been filed in total to this case.

Approx 20 Amci Briefs for EMA/ESA's Side According to EMA
Watching JT on GP is just like watching an episode of Jerry springer only as funny as the fights
America has just became its own version of the Jerry Springer Show after a bizarre moment in Florida involving a carnival worker.
Re: ECA General Counsel Admitted to SCOTUS Bar
I don't believe the Supreme Court ruling can go any way but in our favor but having said that, do us proud, Mercurio!
