The Supreme Court picks and chooses which cases it wants to hear based on
how widely it would affect the law of the land.


That's naive. Every other agency of the government operates under the
table to some extent. What makes you think the FCC is any different?


I should rephrase this: The Supreme Court only selects cases that are
presented to it. Unless the outcome can be 'assured', the FCC prevents
potentially hazardous cases from going that far up the ladder either
by offering settlements (and/or kickbacks) that are too good to pass
up, or by simply dropping the case. Those tactics are underhanded
attempts to avoid an unfavorable ruling by the Supreme Court. Such a
ruling could very possibly collapse the legal foundation of the FCC's
operation.
