Most of the time, a Supreme Court ruling, or any ruling for that matter, is simply a stepping stone on a particular subject's path into our collective short-term memory. Contentious or controversial topics go knocked back and forth through the US court appeal system until they're typically forgotten about or they're just not a "hot button" topic.
While some people like the despicable Leland Yee, see the Supreme Court ruling as just another obstacle in his path towards the Mayorship of San Francisco, other politicians in the country have grudgingly accepted the Supreme Court's decision and have given up in their long and pointless battle against the game industry.
One such man, Rep. Michael Morley of Utah, has done just that. He did have a bill on the table that would have made it easier for ignorant, negligent parents to arbitrarily sue a business for selling games with mature content to kids, but it was vetoed by former Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. in 2009. Morley, apparently now uninterested with the court's decision, has decided to drop the matter entirely. "It's not on my radar to fight that fight," he said, which is basically a way of saying that he no longer sees the violent content of games as a topic that he can spin towards benefiting his political career.
Expect him to to start up again once games become a hot-button topic once more. I'd put good money on it.
