Parler made an agreement with Amazon for hosting services.
Parler sued for breach of agreement.

Judges have the power to reverse or alter the results of civil suits. Jury being the last word is one of those "looks good on paper" things, like the Constitution.
The people don't have near the amount of control that the government tells the people.
