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.

“"The issues of whether defense counsel performed below the level of a reasonably competent attorney and whether deficient performance affected the result of the trial `are mixed questions of law and fact,' Strickland , 466 U.S. at 698 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 , which `require the application of legal principles to the historical facts of this case.' Cuyler v. Sullivan , 446 U.S. 335 , 342 , 100 S.Ct. 1708 , 64 L.Ed.2d 333 (1980). The district court's determination of these questions represents `a conclusion of law rather than a finding of fact.' Id. at 341 , 100 S.Ct. 1708 . . . . ". . . We believe it is superfluous for expert witnesses to advise a court, whether it is the district court or an appellate court, about the proper application of existing law to the established historical facts and about the ultimate issue of trial counsel's effectiveness. See Provenzano v. Singletary , 148 F.3d 1327 , 1331-32 (11th Cir. 1998); Parkus v. State , 781 S.W.2d 545 , 548 (Mo. 1989) (en banc); State v. Thomas , 236 Neb. 553 , 462 N.W.2d 862 , 867 (1990); State v. Moore , 273 N.J.Super. 118 , 641 A.2d 268 , 272 (1994); Commonwealth v. Neal , 421 Pa.Super. 478 , 618 A.2d 438 , 439 n. 4 (1992)."”

We believe it is superfluous for expert witnesses to advise a court, whether it is the district court or an appellate court, about the proper application of existing law to the established historical facts and about the ultimate issue of trial counsel's effectiveness.
