If so, aren't we really saying that they are free to their commercial speech, so long as that speech adheres to the place/manner (i.e., you can't market via phone to those that have requested you don't) restrictions imposed?

*Disclosure: My actually Con Law knowledge is limited
In that case, you're not saying that this is just a time/place/manner restriction, you're saying that it's OK to discriminate against these calls because they're commercial speech.

I'm not sure what I think of this, although I suspect the Tenth Circuit got it right. Presumably the distinction you're emphasizing doesn't hit so close to home for Watchtower, either.
