U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List
DirkDaring writes "Yahoo is reporting that a U.S. court in Oklahoma has blocked the national 'do not call' list that would allow consumers to stop most unwanted telephone sales calls. With around 50 million phone numbers currently signed up this could get very messy."

Ruling for business over private citizens. Now that's something that takes real guts in the US.
Actually, with the current president, it would take real guts not to rule in favor of business over private citizens, unless the private citizens happen to be among the wealthiest in the country.

Your problem is your methodology. It's well known that it is dangerous to write code on a live system! You need to write new code on a dead cat, then when you have tested it, roll it out on your live cats. In case the rollout causes problems, such as furballs, hissing, vomiting, biting, or claw attacks, you need to be prepared to back your changes out and restore to a known good condition. A spare cat wouldn't be a bad idea.
By the way, cfscript is for wimps. CFML rocks the rocking horse.

I'll sell him a revolver and one bullet to put an end to the harassment. And I'll be nice, I'll go last. You guys let me know when it's my turn.
"I know that I'm selling something that you will be most interested in. It'll be the last purchase you'll ever have to make. It's that remarkable!"
Being from Texas, we don't do give a damn about Oklahoma. Okies go down!
This is a test. This is a test of the emergency sig system. This has been only a test.
The 3-judge decision is available on the web here. It is 100% based on the Constitution's equal protection clause.
I know it's fun to accuse judges of making up the law, but in this case it was a Constitutional question. The full court decided that the 3-judge decision was wrong, but that doesn't make it a non-Constitutional issue, nor does it mean that the 3-judge panel made up law.
