The Judge's problem with the list is that it gives preferential exemption to charitable (and political) organizations.

In this case, the Judge seems correct. Shades of the Campaign Finance Act and its preferential exemptions.

The solution to that is to ban ALL of them! No more preferential treatment!

I will not give to a charity that calls me at home. Too many scams get run that way.

And politicians don't need to call me to support their ad campaigns so that they can sling mud.

i give to charities that I chose, and support candidates who respect me.

Well said.

What difference does preferential treatment have if I own my own phone? I prefer this person or group but not that one - big deal. I do that every time I sign up for anything. "Would you like to hear about additional products we sell?" No. "Would you like to receive automatic notification of updates?" Maybe. We make these choices all the time, why is the telephone exempt from preference?

My guess is that Congress will do just that tomorrow, while grinding their molars down to the size of grape seeds, in order to save their political skins.
