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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Liberally construed, said application proffers the issue of petitioner’s present mental ability to stand trial on the charges pending against him, and “his eligibility for release” from the Medical Center as provided in Section 4248, supra. Although this District Court, under applicable law and Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S. C.A., may not adjudicate the first above issue (Higgins v. McGrath, D.C., 98 F.Supp. 670 ), we are duty-bound to hear petitioner out on the latter issue. [ 151 F.Supp. at 373 ]. [Emphasis ours].”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[W]hen it is established that a person who stands committed to the custody of the Attorney General, such as petitioner, “does not appear to represent a danger to others” all lawful authority under the Constitution of the United States and the statutory scheme enacted by the Congress under Sections 4246-4248, supra, is exhausted and he is entitled to have his right to release therefrom determined by way of habeas corpus, as petitioner here does.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[W]hen the factual premise of a commitment under Sections 4246-4248, supra, no longer exists, then, regardless of the mental condition of the person committed thereunder, such as petitioner, he cannot, under the Constitution of the United States, or within due process of the criminal procedure established by the Congress in enactment of the said sections, be further retained in the custody of the Attorney General thereunder.”
