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 language of paragraph 213f(14) gives absolutely no indication that the President intended, in the language of Heflin v. United States, supra, “to multiply the offense of the ... robbers themselves.” As the paragraph was promulgated several years after our decision in United States v. Ford, supra, which specifically reserved the question, and after the Supreme Court’s decision in Milanovich v. United States, supra, which relied on legislative intent, we feel sure that, if this had been the President’s intent, the Manual would so reflect.”
