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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“when a deficiency by counsel resulted in a specific, demonstrable enhancement in sentencing -- such as an automatic increase for a 'career' offender or an enhancement for use of a handgun during a felony -- which would not have occurred but for counsel's error.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[i]f the defendant willfully obstructed or impeded, or attempted to obstruct or impede, the administration of justice during the investigation, prosecution, or sentencing of the instant offense.”
