Have you noticed how they keep trying to buy out/off individuals who's court cases aren't/don't go the way they hope, all in the effort to prevent precedent setting cases from being established. Case in point, the latest $millions judgment reduced to $54000 on appeal, that is again being appealed because they found the initial judgment unconstitutional? Last I heard they were telling her they'd settle for $25000 or so, IF she'd settle it all out of court. They are afraid of any of these cases making it to the supremes - because what they are doing essentially comes down as extortion. We'll do this unless you pay us.
