Lawyer Jokes Are Apparently Illegal Now

Yes, that is right. Two men were arrested for telling lawyer jokes in front of a courthouse.

"How do you tell when a lawyer is lying?" Harvey Kash, 69, of Bethpage, said to Carl Lanzisera, 65, of Huntington, as the queue wound into the court. "His lips are moving," they said in unison, completing one of what may be thousands of standard lawyer jokes...[An] attorney [further up in line] reported Kash and Lanzisera to court personnel, who arrested the men and charged them with engaging in disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

This is insane. These actually were two protesters, but they weren't protesting at the time. And even if they were, this seems firmly in the realm of free speech. But then again, when a laywer is involved "rights" are often whatever they need them to be that moment.
