That stinks. But at least with caller ID, I can avoid most of those calls.

This shouldn't affect NY, which has its own DNC registry, however, I assume.

No doubt some right guaranteed in the Constitution. Once upon a time judges would throw cases like this out of court.

It's time for a Constitutional Convention and term limiting judges. Anything else, of course, they would throw out as unconstitutional.

Direct Marketing Association Inc., one of the plaintiffs, said it was happy with the ruling, even though it "acknowledges the wishes of millions of U.S. consumers who have expressed their preferences not to receive telephone-marketing solicitations - as evidenced by the millions of phone numbers registered on the FTC list."

The suit was filed by DMA, U.S. Security, Chartered Benefit Services Inc., Global Contact Services Inc. and InfoCision Management Corp.

Direct Marketing Association Inc. - (202) 955-5030 / (202) 861-2410
Chartered Benefit Services Inc. - (847) 797-8500, 315 (Illinois)
Global Contact Services Inc. - 704-782-0596 (North Carolina)
InfoCision Management Corp - Todd Grable, Sr. Vice President - Marketing 330-668-1400 (Ohio)

Maybe we don't need different parties in power in Washington to make sure nothing gets done. Judges will simply overrule everything that will affect our lives.

[EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm being all tecnical and whiny, but the decision does not make the DNC List 'Illegal'; it simply puts the legislation on hold.]

The judge did have a valid point. It's not the FTC's job to regulate phone calls. It's up to the FCC. If the FCC wants to put together a do not call list, then it'll stick.

But telemarketing is commercial speech, so either one should be able to set this up, or they can tag team. I don't care who does it, I just want this thing to work or I'm getting an airhorn next to my phone.

No Se7en, voting is exactly the point. You need to vote for the party you agree with most so that while they're in power, they appoint judges that think more like them. And then vote others into office that won't block appointments.

As I learned in my insanely boring Administrative Law class today, Congress is actually passionate about this list so they're going to rewrite some of the FTC's enabling act and give them the mandate to govern the list.

Don't worry, the telemarketers are STILL going to be fucked over, it may just take a few more months to get the job done.
