Secondly, he's a very talented lawyer. Cage's courtroom strategy is always the same. Ignore the law and speak to the heart. In a recent episode, his clients were an African-American transvestite and a man who suffered from Turett's syndrome which caused him to whistle and clap at inappropriate times. These two had been fired by a design firm, not because their design work was not up to par, but because their appearance presented the wrong image for the business.
Cage is a brilliant courtroom lawyer whose arguments always sound in equity rather than law.
Cage is clearly speaking about himself as much as his clients. He is telling us that weirdness is wonderful, a social asset to be protected. It's essential to a democracy that citizens be allowed to define themselves rather than be forced to accept the majority culture's definition. In a neat counterpoint, Kelley also shows how difficult a virtue tolerance is to practice as opposed to preach. Ally herself is never shown as a competent professional.
