WASHINGTON - May 25 - Corporations should not be able to claim a personal privacy right to try to shield government documents about them from public view, six public interest organizations told the U.S. Supreme Court late Monday.
In a friend-of-the-court brief, the groups urged the court to grant review of and overturn a lower court decision holding that corporations may invoke "personal privacy" as a legal basis for claiming that embarrassing records should be withheld from public view.
The case is Federal Communications Commission v. AT&T. The groups filing the brief - Public Citizen, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the National Security Archive, OpenTheGovernment.org, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press - urge the court to review a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
