Your suggested title reflects the ruling.

The actual title reflects the DoJ position. On a message board where any criticism of President Obama is met with a chorus of denunciations of Republicans in Congress, who obstruct everything he wants to do, reporting the DoJ position is worthwhile. I seriously doubt that Boehner and McConnell rammed through a bill (over his veto?) that required the DoJ to try to read attorney-client emails. That the DoJ even took this position is attributable strictly to the executive branch.
