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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Ex Post Facto Clause exists to protect citizens from retroactive increases in punishment. Changes in the administration and enforcement of statutes have little impact on these public expectations .... [T]he internal memoranda and policy directives ... are not published in the Michigan Administrative Code or presented to the public for comment. Accordingly, the Parole Board and the MDOC’s policies and directives did not likely influence public expectations as to parole or create a reliance interest in the public on a particular parole hearing schedule.”
