Appeals Court OKs FTC's Do-Not-Call List

GTRacer writes "The USA Today website just posted a report that the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals (Denver) has upheld the FTC's national Do Not Call registry. In their decision, the Court found the list to be 'a valid commercial speech regulation...without burdening an excessive amount of speech.' The telemarketers had challenged the constitutionality of blocking commercial free speech while allowing charities and select others to continue phone solicitation. Interestingly enough, 'Officials in the telemarketing industry did not immediately return calls seeking comment.' Isn't it now obvious these people have a double-standard when it comes to reaching out and touching someone?" The court's decision is available to read.

Re:It's time...

I don't understand your sig.

Are you pro gay marriage (illustrating that it's pointless to forego some arbitrary ritual, so why not let everyone do it)?

Are you anti gay marriage (illustrating that they don't need the ritual if they're committed, and it's an exclusive 'breeder program' anyway)?

Or are you anti-marriage in general (illustrating that the ritual itself is arbitrary, and you don't care for it)?

Pardon me if this is some 'know' quote that I just missed.
