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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The record shows the certainty that many of the 4,315 plaintiffs who voluntarily renounced were disloyal to the United States. It discloses that many of the plaintiffs did not show any interest in setting aside their revocations until after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had made it clear that the Japanese cause was hopeless, and that the material conditions in the United States had become greatly preferable to those in Japan. Of such seekers for restoration of citizenship the Supreme Court in Savorgnan v. United States, 338 U.S. 491 , 502, 70 S.Ct. 292, 94 L.Ed. 287, quotes the language of Doreau v. Marshall, 3 Cir., 170 F.2d 721, 724, that `the forsaking of American citizenship, even in a difficult situation, as a matter of expediency, with attempted excuse of such conduct later when crass material considerations suggest that course, is not duress.'”

Watkins, 335 U.S. 160 , 170, 68 S.Ct. 1429, 1434, 92 L.Ed. 881, it is stated: `It is not for us to question a belief by the President that enemy aliens who were justifiably deemed fit subjects for internment during active hostilities do not lose their potency for mischief during the period of confusion and conflict which is characteristic of a state of war even when the guns are silent but the peace of Peace has not come.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Kiyama v. Rusk“[A]s to 83 plaintiffs the court refused to consider the defendants' offer to prove that their renunciations were made at detention camps other than Tule Lake. It is obvious such persons do not have the benefit of any presumption arising from the defendant's action at Tule Lake, and the defendant's contentions should have been considered.”
