Maybe, maybe not. There is another federal case coming up in Denver.
Sooner or later the ban will come under 1st amendment scrutiny.
Over many years and many cases the Supreme Court has steadfastly ruled that
truthfull and non-misleading commercial speech is the same as any other speech
and therefore has 1st amendment protection.
But does that protection supersede the rights of citizens
who have explicitly stated that they do no want to receive
such calls? I don't think it does.
We'll see.
