Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We are not given pause in the instant case by the trial judge’s statement that he was reversing himself, as opposed to acceding to the views of the convening authority. The judge clearly expressed an opinion that the question before him was one of law; as such, our precedent binding him to the contrary determination of the convening authority left him no choice but to reverse himself.”
