It was probably unfortunate for Disney that the renewal came up around the same time as they are really annoyed a load of the Republicans (For stupid reasons, but even so), so they probably realised buying a bunch of representatives wouldn't work this time.
(Either that or they did ask and got told to spin..)
If it was anyone other than the chinese government, i would agree this was a bad thing.
However, as they do this on a daily basis preventing foreign own companies operating in China (anyone operating in china has to have a majority local ownership), we are firmly in in pot-kettle territory here.
Its still the wrong reasons on the part of the Cheeto dictator, but i think its the right decision.
Liberterians and especially libertarian trolls, basically consider everything that involves helping others basically Commie.
Just point and laugh and move on
Well, if your going to go down anyway, You may as well go down screaming and kicking.
Or perhaps, throw enough sh*t at the wall and see what, if any, sticks. However, i'm guessing none.
Why did they decide to go to the traffic stop route rather than just inquiring why the van had plates on it that were not for the vehicle at the house?
You say western worlds sqeamishness, I think you mean the US's sqeamishness.
Most European countries use their discression about that and it takes a special kind of pearl-clutching to declare someone having a drunken wazz in an alley a sex offender.
Note quite the same thing, but from Yes Minister:
Sir Desmond Glazebrook : Just the one. If you're incompetent you have to be honest, and if you're crooked you have to be clever. See, if you're honest, then when you make a pig's breakfast of things the chaps rally round and help you out.
Sir Humphrey : If you're crooked?
Sir Desmond Glazebrook : Well, if you're making good profits for them, chaps don't start asking questions; they're not stupid. Well, not that stupid.
Sir Humphrey : So the ideal is a firm which is honest and clever.
Sir Desmond Glazebrook : Yes. Let me know if you ever come across one, won't you.
Hamas is particularly stupid choice for a nonsense lawsuit. While they are a particularly unpleasant organisation, they seem to keep their terrorist activities confined to Israel.
Presumably because they dont want to end up like Iraq.
Because when everyone knows ewxactly what they are trying to do, everyone and their dog puts in an Amicus brief telling the court exactly why its a stupid idea.
Its pretty much the only way certain varieties of police can hide dodgy requests things these days as even rubber-stamping judges seem to be getting thinner on the ground.
He's fought long and hard about this.
The cheek of the people involved.
Hopefully the beurorcracy will look at this and decide others in the same situation wont have to take the plunge down the rabbithole of stupid regulation before getting a good outcome for all involved.
Failing to bribe.

A bit confused...
Why did they decide to go to the traffic stop route rather than just inquiring why the van had plates on it that were not for the vehicle at the house?
Surely that would be more more suspicion?
Just curious...

Its also worth noting that all their competitors smell of poo and wee as well, and at least one of them is a massive poopyhead!

Your discounting the effect of Cisco and its lobbyists.
At least some of these rumours started there.
