 From my extensive legal knowledge gained from reading Groklaw (:-)
this is a typical response to a complaint. The defendant denies
everything but the most straightforward facts, and asserts every
possible defense. It is then up to the plaintiff to prove his case,
demonstrating that the allegations are true and that the claimed
defenses do not apply.

This, by the way, is why those complaints from some quarters about
why the SFLC don't go to trial instead of settling are silly.
At the pre-trial conferences the judge talks to all sides, and if
one of them says that they're prepared to settle, the other side
can't say that they want a trial anyway.
