I wasn't up on this, so looked it up. Apparently they narrowed the definition of what "counts as an autodialer" to effectively open a large exemption for devices that you or I would consider an autodialer. As long as the autodialer doesn't store numbers sequentially or generate them randomly it is exempt. e.g. if you have a list of non-sequential phone numbers, you can autodial to your heart's content.

I thought this post explained it reasonably well: https://www.manatt.com/insights/newsletters/tcpa-connect/the...

Is there anything preventing Congress from clarifying the definition? Assuming not, don't they deserve as much of the blame for the mess as folks here are heaping on the Court?

gross incompetence

Coupled with the assumption that such a stupid ruling will just be repeated on a new pretext.
