The court case is capital fighting capital. If it's the government, then it's the public's capital vs. private capital. The government is often at a disadvantage in this situation due to conflicts of interest and concerns over funds, as private capital is often far richer than anything the government can put forward. Proper protests etc. are direct action by the people against capital. There are still disadvantages, but they can be drowned out by simple numbers.
