Suppose this goes to a trial and the jury calls the plaintiff's arguments horse manure. Does that set any precedent?

It already went to trial and lost in almost all local, federal district courts, except in this case. Here it passed appellate review. The next stop is the U.S. Supreme court. It appears they will have to take the case as all other Circuit Courts have ruled the other way.

If I may bother you again, what do you say John?

Not wit. These days, for quite some decades in fact, the jury is only to try the facts, they are not to judge the law as brought down from on high by the judges.
