In terms of a lawsuit, it's the 3rd. rail of American of the system, it actually does very little to have politicians on your side, might actually hurt you. Politicians here are not popular. Any one that spoke out on the lawsuit, and had a book deal, would be viewed as an involved party, part of the system of price fixing that the lawsuit is against. The lawyers might even pick an unpopular politician or two to drag into the case on subpeona, especially if they had met with the book publishers on eBooks or agency model or even how much their book would be priced at.
