One interesting and IMHO relevant question is: if you don't accept the gov'ts first offering, how many can you sacrifice?

I don't think you have a choice. The state is supposed to provide you the MINIMAL amount of legal protection as described in the C & BoR. The point isn't to play procedural games. A lawyer is supposed to pass a bar exam which 'certifies' them as competent to practice law. Now if your lawyer happens to be ignorant of the relevant laws you might be able to get them changed because in that case it would be clear they could not 'assist' you with your defence. ____________________________________________________________________ We have to hate our immediate predecessors to get free of their authority.
