Center for Disease Control and Prevention to Investigate Video Games?

Apparently so. GameSpot reports that senators Joseph Liberman, Hilary Clinton and Dick Durbin have teamed up to ask the Center for Diseas Control and Prevention to study the "impact of electronic media use." So what?

Well, if the CDC can provide the link between video games and violent behaviors, then the courts that have been striking down state legislature left and right over the last year will have the link they've been looking for and the face of game legislation will change. Currently, when state X tries to enact some kind of law it eventually gets overturned by the courts - if the CDC shows a link that may no longer bet the case.
