JUSTICE DELAYED ISN'T ALWAYS JUSTICE DENIED
Appeals Court likely to reverse recent decision on DO NOT CALL

Now it's just plain getting fun. Much like the drama that erupted in California over the judicial challenges to the Recall, another defeat was levied on telemarketers today.

Reuters is reporting that a U.S. appeals court said on Friday it would likely approve the DO NOT CALL LIST/REGISTRY even though two lower courts had blocked it.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver denied a request by telemarketers to halt the federal government's "do not call" list and said it would likely rule in favor of the measure hen it soon hears the case.

"The telemarketers have failed to establish a substantial likelihood of success on the merits," a three-judge panel said.

The Reuters report goes on to say:

The appeals panel said that while telemarketers will be harmed by the no-call list, which would deny them millions of sales prospects, that concern is outweighed by the privacy interests of the tens of millions of Americans.

YEE HAH!
