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 122 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No doubt under the Organic Act of 1917, . . . the insular government was subject to the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. [T]he government of the newly created Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is subject to ‘the applicable provisions of the Constitution of the United States.’ That must mean that the people of Puerto Rico, who remain United States citizens, are entitled to invoke against the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico the protection of the fundamental guarantee of due process of law, as provided in the federal Constitution. For our present purposes it is unnecessary to determine whether it is the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment or that of the Fourteenth Amendment which is now applicable; the important point is that there cannot exist under the American flag any governmental authority untrammeled by the requirements of due process of law as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.” Mora v. Mejias, 206 F.2d 377, 382 (1st Cir. 1953). 18”
