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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“when a district judge orders restitution while withholding a fine on the ground of the defendant's inability to pay, and fails to explain his action, the case must be remanded for an explanation.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“shall impose a fine ... only to the extent that such fine ... will not impair the ability of the defendant to make restitution.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“the intent to embrace all security interests can reasonably be inferred when we recall that the statute dates from the 1930s, when the terms “mortgage” and “chattel mortgage,” which have since been superseded by “security interest,” UCC 9-102(2), were used interchangeably to refer to nonpossessory security interests in personal property, and when the verb “mortgage” (the statute uses the verb, not the noun) was commonly used to refer the granting of any such interest.”
