Let's have at it. Is this an example of free speech? I think not.

What a masochist this judge must be. :-)

[etcetera]

I'd like to exercise my free speech rights on this judge's phone. Anybody got the number?

[strela]

Whatever you do, don't exercise your Constitutional right to call this judge and protest his decision at:

Judge Edward W. Nottingham Alfred A. Arraj United States Courthouse A1041 / Courtroom 14
(303) 844-5018

That might be wrong.

I found the judge’s Email and office phone numbers.

This is the great thinker that feels it’s a Constitutional right to call people, so have at it:

US District Judge Edward W. Nottingham
1929 Stout St
Denver, CO 80294
(303) 844-5018 X5 for Secretary

I guess that I'm the last person in America that is opposed to this stupid law. Who needs a freaking federal law so that the phone doesn't ring at dinner time? And no, I'm not a telemarketer.

If you don't want to answer the phone during dinner, don't.

If you don't want to miss a call, get an answering machine.

If you don't want to talk to a telemarketer (or your brother in law), get Caller ID.

All that said, what passes for judicial wisdom these days is pathetic. Free speech does not include the right to be heard or the wherewithall to make your speech.

This judge along with many others should be impeached.

Maybe Congress should look at the NDNCR from a different angle. Instead of classifying the listed homeowners as telephones to avoid, the listed numbers should be considered to be telephones willing to receive calls from telemarketers. By connecting with any listed number, the telemarketers will be invoiced $11,000. That will be the charge payable to the phone owner as his fee for receiving marketing calls.

The government will put together the list so telemarketers will know who is willing to accept their calls for the scale fee of $11,000 per call. If telemarketers call any listed number, they will be deemed to have been fairly warned and fully liable for payment of the fee. At least in this manner, telemarketers retain their first amendment rights to free speech and Congress is exercising its right to regulate interstate commerce.

I used to be rude to these twerps when they call.

Now, I'm going to be extraordinarily rude. It's time to rise up and shame these locusts out of their pest profession. Have they no self-respect that would keep them from bothering people in their homes?

I don't care if they're 85 years old and are just trying to scratch out enough for a Happy Meal. From now on, when they call me, they'll wish they were never born.
