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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Obviously [prisoners] will be required to serve longer, if credited with only [5] days per month, rather than [6] days per month, ... but that problem was for Congress and was resolved by it in the adoption of the new section. We think there is no ambiguity in the statute and that its clear language requires that [the good time credit specified in the statute] be computed monthly, as the months go by, and not [at the increased rate], as provided by the Bureau’s rules.”
