You mean make an argument like 'The American Public is so enthralled with Google's search results and 'Do no evil' philosophy there is no way a fair decision could be reached, because every day people don't realize there is also a 'Do as we say not as we do' practice at Google which implicitly indicates the 'Do no evil' philosophy is aimed at others?

lol, not quite.
More like, convincing a US Federal judge that the precedent set by a European's court ruling should apply to the US suit, under similar examples of "international law rulings".
("Public opinion" wouldn't be a factor at this level)

In theory, it could be "easy" to do. In practice... well, how long did those MS cases last? Many, many years.

But then again, serious lawsuits have a way of making corporations "check themselves", if only to save on future and on-going legal expenses. (Bottom line $$$)
