Since 50 million people signed up for the list, I'm betting that
congress will find a way to make this work. 50 million is a number they
are very afraid of.

I mean look at today. They passed the new law giving the FTC authority
in record time. Imagine if they actually acted this fast on other
issues...

the battle continues:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/09/25/congress.no.call/index.html

"But as Congress was giving the bill a thumbs-up, a federal judge in
Denver was issuing another legal hurdle to the do-not-call registry.
U.S.
District Judge Edward Nottingham issued an opinion blocking the list
based
on telemarketers' free speech rights.[rather than the authority of the
FTC, the first judge's argument]

"Nottingham's decision could be more difficult for advocates of the list
to sidestep because it cannot be addressed with Congressional action and
must be resolved by the courts."
