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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Defendants say that their classification was arbitrary and without basis in fact because the evidence before the board showed their previous convictions and hence the board was required to put them in the classification of undesirables, to-wit IV-F. See. 456 (m), heretofore quoted, makes no such requirement. Whether defendants’ previous convictions made them unacceptable for service is a question within the discretionary judgment of the draft board in the first instance and later of the military authorities. Furthermore, there was no appeal from the draft board’s classification. Ordinarily a failure to exhaust administrative remedies prechides the raising of a question of the propriety of the draft board’s action. There is no justification in this case for relaxing that rule.” (Emphasis added.)”
