The scary part is that they think (and are probably correct) that they have a good chance of convincing a random jury that it's totally fine.

No need to convince anyone. Trump presidency ensures their will is implemented.

They're asking for a jury trial. That's what I'm referring to.

That's probably more a stalling tactic then anything else.

The longer they can run down the clock, the greater the chance is that Trump dismantles the FCC before the case is over, and even if he doesn't do that it lets them keep selling data for longer.
