Someone Explain Litigation to TexasDarlin

Yesterday, TexasDarlin wondered aloud why Obama and the DNC have attempted to stall discovery in Philip Berg’s ridiculous, nonjusticiable suit claiming that Obama is ineligible for the presidency. Hint to TexasDarlin: that’s what lawyers do. Ratchet up transaction costs to bring things to a favorable end without a big, publicized trial. One could try in vain to read something from standard litigation practice, but all you’re going to get is, “your opponent wants to cost you money,” which is not that remarkable.
