Chief Justice John Roberts noted AT&T was arguing that because the word "person" can apply to corporations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which covers public requests for information, "personal" should also apply. "I tried to ... come up with other examples where the adjective was very different from the root noun," Roberts said. "It turns out it is not hard at all. You have craft and crafty. Totally different. Squirrel, squirrely."Asks Justice Roperts, trying to weasel out of his last blunder. He claims a change from noun to adjective doesn't get the robot passed the rights threshold. OK, I have many counter examples where personal was applied to corporations, as in:
"Boy that jackass Supreme Court is going to grant more personal rights to corporation"
That comes up a lot in common usage.
