Ford pulls LR/Jag GLBT support due to American Family threat

Something I'm curious about (honestly, I have no idea how this works).

If you file a lawsuit, is the discovery process in which defendent would have to turn over records essentially automatic or does there have to be any kind of certification of merit by the court before it proceeds to that point?

I am in no way saying that is what should happen to such a lawsuit (whether I think something should be against the law has little to do with whether it is), just curious of the discovery process is a guaranteed outcome of filing or if there is some threshold of validity that must first be met?
