i>"Let's see, how many errors are there in this statement. First no one is restricting the telemarketers' free specch rights. "

If the telemarketer can’t call to speak his right to speak couldn’t be more infringed upon.

CNN radio network “uses my equipment against my will” at the top of the hour when I listen to Rush. I may choose to keep it tooned just like I may choose to pick up the phone.

The right to privacy is implied, not specifically stated. And 20 years from now a Gore administration might decide to invoke a religious do not call list or a political do not call list or a even move it out of the voice arena to protect you from “annoying” right wing hate speech, forcing it to be flagged on the web so that your privacy can be protected by your browser and you don’t stumble into a page that “steals your service.” There’s no Constitutional role for this.

I'm sorry, but your radio analogy is silly.

You choose to turn it on. It doesn't ring. You have your choice of stations. Pick another, and you'll never have to hear CNN again. Not so with telescum.

There is no right to commit theft of service in order to speak just as there's no right to trespass in order to speak.
