He never does because he doesn't want any trouble to fall on Sly's brother, not that he has ever met the brother, but he knows how hurt Sly would have been. Sure J.R. has connections with judges and politicians, but he knew that Cliff could possibly find away to hold up those hearing forever. He never gambles with Sly.

Poor Cliff. I was re-watching the early seasons recently and Cliff is actually charming, black hair, great smile, a noble figure, comes off as a John/Robert Kennedy type a charismatic guy just wanting to do good things, like the anti-JR. The sort that walks into a room and people notice him and think he has a bright future. And you look at him there, he's a shell of a man, grey hair, talks in a unclassy manner, half drunk. He was dragged into a war that is eating him alive. Who knew that the guy from Season 1 would become that.

the ironic thing is Jr's "Fair setup" backfired because Cliff won this round when his oil well came in at the last second.
