    disney isn’t inventing laws; congress is passing laws, which is how it’s supposed to work.

          Choosing to miss the forest for the trees here, I see. Being pedantic only brings something to the table if someine doesn’t know the details you’re being a pedant over.

          Everybody here knows that legislative bodies pass laws.
