The "lawyer" comment might have been from the Astal Queen episode, introducing Tom Zarek. In which case Adama was siding with Roslin against Lee - and against the deal Lee made with a convicted terrorist intent on destablizing the established government and rule of law.
I don't recall Adama in the way you indicate - "indifferent to pleas for civilian authority and democracy". I remember him questioning Roslin's authority to take command of the fleet/civilians, which was shown as being a basic case of Roslin not having a drop of experience at the job, not to mention a dangerously lax attitude towards computer security.
I know that Adama has his faults, and that some fans see him as a threat to the open society that they associate with Roslin, but I'd rather hang the man for the errors he has actually made, rather than assigning him ones that he didn't actually commit.
