But hey, that's what lawyers do, cherry pick opinions that back their case while ignoring the ones that refute their case. A lawyer's job is to win the case by any legal means possible.
Cote was absolutely correct.

Many lawyers love to refer to minority opinions when the majority one doesn't support them, so I suppose I shouldn't blame an amateur for adopting the same practice.
