Another up, and down, for the national do-not-call list

Judge Declares Do-Not-Call List Unconstitutional
A federal judge in Denver declared a new national registry designed to
stop most unwanted telemarketing calls unconstitutional Thursday, just
hours after both houses of Congress passed legislation aimed at nullifying
another court's decision to halt the list's enactment earlier in the week.

I hope no one doubts the direct marketers are briging big money to bear on
this. I expect legal challenges until they win or die--this law smashes
thier business model all to heck. Maybe then we can look at getting
politicians and the other loopholers blocked, too.
