We're just inventing new rights by the hour here. Now it's the Constitutional right to not have your phone ring.

The Constitutional right to ring somebody else's phone even when that somebody doesn't want you to ring their phone -- now that's BOR material.

I agree that someone who continually calls your phone after you ask them to stop is a nuissance caller and should be stopped. However, how do you do it in a Constitutional way? That's my question, and apparently the question in the mind of the courts.

Also, does there have to be a governmental solution to this? Could a private solution work just as well or better? Maybe have one of the phone companies like AT&Tset up their own do not call registry, and if it's violated, the telemarketer's service is pulled? I dunno, how do they handle it with regular nuissance calls? I'm guessing it would involve the law in some way, so I guess we come back to the question of how to make it illegal to nuissance telemarket call to people without stepping over any boundaries.
