U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List

Posted by timothy on from the 405-609-5099 dept.

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."

    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.
