Charles Kuffner of Off the Kuff discusses the newest snafu in the National Do-Not-Call list:
Court hangs up do-not-call again.

Personally, I’d be more than happy to have the national list prevent charitable solicitations as well as commercial ones; in my view, the point of the list is not to screen out the telemarketers, but to protect the privacy of the home.

Add in that some telemarketers are now calling cell phones (or that people who’ve gone wireless get all calls on their cells, wanted or not), and it just gets worse. This isn’t a free-speech issue - if anything, it’s a forced-to-listen issue, which (last time I checked) wasn’t a provision in the good ol’ Constitution.
