Judge Who Nixed Call Registry Is on List
Posted on: Saturday, 27 September 2003, 06:00 CDT
The office phone number of a federal judge who ruled last week that a national do-not-call registry is unconstitutional was among the thousands already on the list.
U.S. District Judge Edward Nottingham's number was added in July to the registry, which was designed to block telemarketers' calls.
It wasn't clear whether Nottingham himself registered the number or knew it had been registered. A call to the office Saturday was not immediately returned.
Nottingham on Thursday stopped the Federal Trade Commission from implementing the registry, ruling it was an unconstitutional infringement on free speech.
The FTC Web site was set up to allow anyone to register their number, remove it or verify whether a number was registered. An automated response from the site verified that Nottingham's number was registered on July 28.
The Boston Globe reported the listing in its Saturday editions and said Nottingham did not return its messages seeking comment Friday.
