The status of the Federal Do Not Call List is up in the air. First a judge decided that the FTC did not have the authority to operate the list. Congress quickly fixed that by clarifying the original law. And now another judge has said that the list prohibits free speech to commercial enterprises because the law excludes charity and political calls and picks on the poor marketing people.
What about the free speech of the 51 million people who have said they do not want these calls? Is no one listening. If 51 million people do not want my product or at least do not want to have it sold to them at 7:30am on a Sunday morning over the phone then I think I would get the hint.
I have an idea. Let's forward all these calls to the judges that are making these ridiculous rulings. At least let's get them all to move to California. I'm sure they could keep themselves busy there and let the 51 million of us that want to eat dinner uninterrupted by sales calls have our way.
