From MSNBC:
?How do you tell when a lawyer is lying?? Harvey Kash reportedly asked Carl Lanzisera.
?His lips are moving,? they said in unison.
While some waiting to get into the courthouse giggled, a lawyer farther up the line Monday was not laughing.
He
told them to pipe down, and when they did not, the lawyer reported the
pair to court personnel, who charged them with disorderly conduct, a
misdemeanor.?They just can?t take it,? Kash said of lawyers in general. ?This violates our First Amendment rights.?
Dan
Bagnuola, a spokesman for the Nassau County courts, said the men were
?being abusive and they were causing a disturbance.? He said he did not
have the name of the lawyer who complained.
This story reminds me of two things:
(1)
“They accused us of suppressing freedom of expression. This was a lie
and we could not let them publish it.” ? Nelba Blandon, the Nicaraguan
Interior Ministry Director of Censorship, 1984
(2) The hypersensitive lawyers on “The Simpsons.”
And the Nassau County spokesman almost reminds me of a colonel in “Dr. Strangelove.”
