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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * this section • means nothing more than that the government in enforcing judgments for fines and penalties is not restricted to mere imprisonment of the defendant; that it may proceed also by execution against the defendant’s property, as in civil cases. It would seem, therefore, that congress has not seen fit to provide any greater rights for the federal government when collecting fines imposed in criminal cases by execution than are given individuals in the collection of private debts.””
