Is it reasonable or reasonable for an attorney of this court to quote portions of a sentence while leaving key qualifiers?

I don't believe that quoting portions of a sentence while leaving out key qualifiers is reasonable conduct for an attorney of this court. I don't believe that making assertions in a brief regarding disputed factual points, without providing a citation to the record, amounts to reasonable attorney conduct. I don't believe that ignoring the context of statements in the recordthe timing, circumstances and purpose amounts to reasonable conduct. In short, I don't believe that it is appropriate or reasonable for a lawyer to pluck a few words from the middle of a sentence and pretend that they say something very different from what they mean in context. This is true of every lawyer who appears before us, but it goes doubly for lawyers who represent the government in criminal cases. See United States v. Kojayan, 8 F.3d 1315, 1323 (9th Cir.1993) ("Prosecutors are subject to constraints and responsibilities that don't apply to other lawyers. While lawyers representing private parties mayindeed, mustdo everything ethically permissible to advance their clients' interests, lawyers representing the government in criminal cases serve truth and justice first."
