#1 is right. Maybe our do-nothing congress can finally agre3e on SOMETHING and pass a federal law. There already is a federal no-call registry.

So how do they get a company in, say New Jersey, or Iowa, or whatever, from phoning a number in New York. This illustrates a serious lack of knowledge of “federalism” – why interstate commerce is subject to federal regulation. If making a phone call to a New York number is legal in another state, that makes it legal – unless the Federal government does something.
