Petitioners submit such a blanket extension of existing terms exceeds Congress's power under the Copyright Clause and it violates the First Amendment. Now, the Government has responded to petitioners' argument in a way that betrays a simple but fundamental confusion.
The Government issued a response to arguments that were put forth by a separate group of people.
Petitioners submitted arguments to the Government, and the Government issued a response to those arguments, therefore this must be correct. It's difficult perhaps because it says argument in the text and I said arguments in the statement.
