The judicial branch is saying that the executive branch's agency assumed authority that the legislature gave to a different agency. That's a legitimate function of the judiciary. The judicary didn't say that the legislature can't such authority to agency "A" or "B"; it said that it didn't. The legislature can make clear who should have the authority here without much trouble, and should do so immediately.

No, that's not accurate. This court struck down the FTC's authority on consumer issues granted by the legislature because the legislature granted authority of telecommunication issues to the FCC.

This nutball judge made the determination that a no-call list rule was NOT a consumer issue. Unless the no-call rule somehow is in conflict with existing FCC rules, how can any court decide which agency trumps another?

Unless the Telemarketers were able to demonstrate that their due process rights were violated, this court should have determined this suit to be frivolous and thrown their asses out of court.

The FTC will appeal and win at the federal appellate court level.

The crime here is that this idiot judge from Oklahoma has increased the legal costs (and our collective tax liability) in perpetuating the Telemarketers baseless suit.

The time has come to eliminate lifetime appointments to the judiciary. 10 or 15 year terms should be the limit for any federal appointment.
