Arnie appeals against US ruling

The Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has reacted angrily to the news that U.S. District Judge John Whyte overturned a proposed law to ban the sale of violent software to minors.

I signed this important measure to ensure that parents are involved in determining which video games are appropriate for their children,” said Schwarzenegger.
