  I'm not so sure of that. We don't get an exact transcript of what he said, nor what he was asked. It appears to me that he may have actually been thinking of "adult (or mature) video games" as pornography, which has always been subject to regulation. The opinion was quite clear in distinguishing obscenity (a term limited by SCOTUS to sexual content) from violence. It's not obvious to me whether the conversation recounted in that article was nearly so clear.
