Yea, well, that is only if you are stupid enough to pay a lawyer to defend the suit. The judge is more than capable enough to make up his mind without the city having to spend gobs of cash on a lawyer to argue the merits.
When it is time to present your case, enter a few well known documents as evidence (including current U.S. currency, pictures of the Supreme Court chambers, etc.), rest your case and wait for a decision that likely has been made before the judge ever heard one word of the trial (which way it goes depends on the judge).
The only way to win the game is not to play it. Let the other side spend all they want. Get caught up in the lawyer and spending game and you lose from day one.
