You'd think a cop would remember the Miranda Warning enough to note the line about "You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning."
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Maybe the cop heard about that and read too much into it.Or, more likely, he's a complete retard who made this an open-and-shut case for the defence.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!

In that case maybe the only stupid thing this cop did was arresting the lawyer and had she agreed to his suggestion to abandon her client this stupid tactic would have worked?Actually, since the supreme court agrees that the police can question suspects without a lawyer and it is totally kosher, wouldn't that mean that the cop has a case for claiming that she was obstructing him in his duty?
"Arrested for resisting arrest"...I got nothing.
