The Lexington Herald-Leader actually editorialized in favor of The Family Foundation's argument that it didn't get the opportunity to take discovery in the Instant Racing case:

But the trouble is those questions can't be answered without information.
As Lambert wrote, "the role of discovery in the litigation process can hardly be overstated."Read more here.
