Don't get me wrong, telemarketers are a pain in the arse I could live without! I have one from ATT (one of the
exempt companies) who I have politely told not to call, rudely told not to call and done some of the various fun things to do to telemarketers, yet she keeps calling. I think next on the list will be one of those marine emergency airhorns sitting next to the phone, quietly waiting. Maybe a burst eardrum will solve the problem. (All right maybe that's a little too viscous.)

So what is the second statement based on? Where do you derive this "right to privacy?"
American law (as created by our Founding Fathers) is based on English common law and Judaeo/Christian morals. The Supreme Court has historically and not unfrequently disregarded not only precedent but also original intent when passing judgement on various cases.

If only this were true. Unfortunatley, once a Federal government job is created, it's next to impossible to get rid of it. New jobs will be made to handle/maintain/enforce this list and the old jobs that handled phone solicitation complaints will not be down sized . And the American people will be paying for yet another unconstitutional program.
