Second Federal Judge Moves to Block Do-Not-Call List

Snubbing the wishes of Congress and more than 50 million Americans, a second federal judge has issued a ruling that would block the anti-telemarketing National Do-Not-Call List Registry. According to this Reuters story, U.S. District Judge Edward Nottingham in Denver ruled that that the do-not-call list violated telemarketers’ First Amendment rights of free speech, amounting to “a government restriction on lawful and truthful commercial speech.”
