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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here, while urging upon us, as he urged below, that he was entrapped and, as he did there, his general claims that his conviction violated due process, he urges nothing which presents any valid reason for granting the motion. “In addition to the fact that he cannot use a section 2255 motion to retry his case, the record shows that he was represented below by counsel and that the defense of entrapment, which he now seeks to present, was fully presented and fairly charged on the trial.””
