> The government is only providing the venue for resolving the dispute.

The government provides the venue, the decider, the rules of engagement, and enforces the decision. The government stands on the side of the plaintiff, ready to turn the resolution (that the government decided) into the same result as if it were law.

The distinction is nonsense to me.

The judicial branch - which decides - is independent of the executive branch - which enforces.

> The government stands on the side of the plaintiff

The executive stands on the side of whoever the judiciary ruled in favor of. It's an important distinction.
