The fun continues. U.S. District Judge Lee R. West's telephone has not stopped ringing since he sided with telemarketers by trying to block the national do-not-call list. People have flooded West's office and home with calls and faxes, apparently trying to show him why they wanted to ban unsolicited sales calls. "They are just calling to tie up our lines," said Rick Wade, operations manager at the district clerk's office. "They just keep calling to harass us, like the telemarketers harass them."

Well duh.

The phones at the federal courthouse were jammed Thursday morning and voicemail boxes were stuffed with messages blasting West's ruling. His home and office telephone numbers were posted on the Internet, and consumers angry with the ruling were encouraged to call. When AP tried to call him for comment, they were blocked by busy signals.

That's all well and good - that judge is getting exactly what he deserves. But not minutes after the senate voted that Judge West was an ass, a second federal judge also tried to block the list, saying it violated constitutional protections for free speech. U.S. District Judge Edward Nottingham in Denver is the latest idiot to side with the telemarketing nazis. I'm trying to find his phone numbers now.

Meanwhile, the final senate vote results were 412 votes for, 8 votes against. Here are the names of the ones who voted against, ie those who are league with the ATA and telemarketers. Feel free to phone these idiots up and tell them what you think:
Bishop (UT) Meek (FL) Strickland Cannon Paul Terry Flake Ryan (OH)
