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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]n many immigration and parole cases, habeas corpus is simply the vehicle — and the only vehicle — for obtaining judicial review of administrative action; why in such cases it should be confined to “fundamental” defects eludes us and seems inconsistent with the normal presumption that final administrative action is judicially reviewable. Of course, remedies ought not be disproportionate to the wrongs they aim to rectify. As a remedy, habeas corpus lacks the flexibility of money damages, as it involves releasing, whether at present or in the future, from custody a person who may be dangerous to the community.”
