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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Point VI. ‘Because of excessive sentence defendant (or plaintiff in error) will be deprived of his right to petition for parole at the time entitled thereto under the provisions of the Parole Act of June 25, 1910,’ as amended (Comp.St §§ 10535-10544 [ 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 3570 , 4164, 4202-4207, 4281]). “This point is attempted to be sustained by citation of the case of O’Brien v. McClaughry, [8 Cir], 209 F. 816 . The opinion in the cited case, as written, is not in our opinion an authority on the proposition quoted. It may not be inappropriate to say, however, that the case of O’Brien v. McClaughry follows the case of Munson v. McClaughry [8 Cir.], 198 F. 72 , 42 L.R.A.,N.S. 302, and that the United States Supreme Court, in the case of Morgan v. Devine, 237 U.S. 632 , at page 640 et seq., 35 S.Ct. 712 , 59 L.Ed. 1153 , disapproved the case of Mun-son v. McClaughry, and we think both the McClaughry Cases in effect overruled.””
