I agree that the guy was hamming it up, but I fully support the rights of people to be conscientiously disobedient when they feel it is right. I have no reason to believe that this guy didn't truly feel he had the right to ask those questions without being shut down. The fact that he made the most of it is irrelevant to me. It's a matter of principle.
