It's high time the legal games be punished.

The judge - Roger Benitez - multiplied the fine because the defendants who happen to be the State of California played all sorts of games, refiling a request for dismissal just one day after the judge denied their motion and otherwise making jackasses of themselves to stretch this out in the hopes of exhausting the Thomas Moore Society, the plaintiffs.

If courts would do this more often we'd waste a lot less time and money. Courts are already backed up because of frivolous lawsuits and legalistic maneuvers designed to pump up billable hours and deny justice by financially exhausting one party. It's time that sort of nonsense ended.
