Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
It's not their jurisdiction. The CPSC shouldn't exist. That should be left to the states. So if Florida or California or Texas or whoever decides they want to slap a label on their video games because parents would rather have a nanny state than take responsibility for their own kids, they're welcome to do so. Then, when academic research proves out that kids in the nanny state are no less violent than any other, the rest of us can point and laugh and then go about our business.
Instead, we hide behind the grossly-over-interpreted commerce clause and let everything happen in Washington, where lobbyists have all the power and legislation like this is just pandering to keep voters from paying attention to all of the real issues.
