And at the very least you can factor Disney out of your argument if you think copyright terms should be less than half of what they were in 1909.

I don't think they were. They were blaming Disney for ever increasing copyright terms. Then suggested their own copyright term.

Just because the copyright wasn't (someone's idea of) perfect prior to Disney, doesn't absolve Disney of responsibly when they start shifting the term in entirely the wrong way.
