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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The federal prohibition against ex post facto laws can be found in Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution of the United States, which states in relevant part: "No State shall . . . pass any . . . ex post facto Law. . . ." Ex post facto laws are also prohibited under Article 17 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights, which states "[t]hat retrospective Laws, punishing acts committed before the existence of such Laws, and by them only incompatible with liberty; wherefore, no ex post facto Law ought to be made; nor any retrospective oath or restriction be imposed, or required." Maryland's ex post facto clause has been viewed generally to have the "same meaning" as its federal counterpart.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Under the plain language of the state and federal constitutions, ... the ex post facto prohibition applies only to a “law.” ... [T]he ex post facto prohibition does not apply to a “change in guidelines assisting [a government agency] in the exercise of its discretion.” This Court, as well as numerous other courts, [has] taken the position that the ex post facto clauses are inapplicable to “parole guidelines [which] ‘do not have the force and effect of law’ but are merely ‘policies] ... that show how ... discretion is likely to be exercised[.]’ ””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Notwithstanding the provisions of this or any other directive and consistent with the law, the Commissioner and those authorized by the Commissioner have the absolute discretion to modify, suspend, or terminate the case management process for any reason. Similarly, the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designees retain the discretion to modify the classification and/or assignment of any inmate at any time for any reason.”
