SCOTUS Chief John Roberts Makes a Joke

I guess this passes for humor:

We reject the argument that because “person” is defined for purposes of FOIA to include a corporation, the phrase “personal privacy” in Exemption 7(C) reaches corporations as well. The protection in FOIA against disclosure of law enforcement information on the ground that it would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy does not extend to corporations. We trust that AT&T will not take it personally.

The case is actually pretty interesting and I am glad that the Roberts court reached the correct result in a unanimous decision. Basically, ATT argued that because corporations are "persons," corporations are protected from FOIA disclosures that would constitute "an unwarranted violation of personal privacy." Thankfully, the Court disagreed.

Here's the opinion:
