9/26    Why all of a sudden are these federal courts speaking up
        about free speech regarding this Do Not Call registry,
        when they've known for months that it was supposed to go
        into effect next week? Couldn't those dumbasses have
        spoken up earlier?
        \_ Well...no.  Someone had to file an injuction or initiate a lawsuit
           before the courts could 'speak up'.  DMA did, a judge agreed with
           DMA that the FTC overstepped the authority it was granted by
           congress.  Read the news....
           \_ so what took the DMA so fucking long?
              \_ you do it at the last minute so that even if you lose in
                 trial, the injunction maximizes how long you can do what
                 you've been doing, regardless of the outcome in court
        \_ Even though the list has been blocked by some whacko activist judge,
           I still get fewer calls.  I think most of the scum purged their
           lists already in anticipation so maybe the call volume will drop to
           only 5 or 10 a day until the case is settled in the people's favor.
