It is most definitely the court's job to determine if the time it takes to produce documents is reasonable or not. Courts order all branches government to produce documents on the court's schedule all the time and the government must do whatever is required to produce those documents on the prescribed schedule.

- infamia 5y agoI really don't think so. The point I was trying to make was, it is the court who will tell the government what is a reasonable time period to produce the data and how much is a reasonable amount of money to spend. For the purposes of the court case, what congress has appropriated is meaningless if the court decides that the government is dragging its feet (which it clearly is).
