I agree with you on the importance of Chevron deference, but I can't see any court getting to the second step of Chevron with this particular ruling, so no deference would be required. The legislation bans "artificial or prerecord

Chevron was ruled in 1984 but it was a codification of principles that had already been in practice. It was a standard Supreme Court ruling, a formalization of precedent. After all, some degree of deference to executive interpretation is re

The ruling specifically only applies to the initiator of the call. IVR is not covered. Automated calls are also permitted with consent (for instance, if you sign up for notifications for filled prescriptions or backordered library books). I

Just now I moved the mouse to hover over "Reply" while I was still reading the comment. It was close enough to where my eyes were focusing that I could put the pointer over it, but I never looked at it directly. I've noticed
