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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Since the divided decision in Harmelin , several courts have questioned whether Solem survives. See, e.g., United States v. Kratsas , 45 F.3d 63 , 67 (4th Cir. 1995). . . . Our court has adhered to Solem and we continue to recognize some degree of sentencing proportionality in the Eighth Amendment. . . . We therefore accept Solem as clearly established federal law as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (d)(1).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Wilson v. State“[T]he continuing applicability of the Solem test is indicated by the fact that a majority of the Harmelin Court either declined expressly to overrule Solem or explicitly approved of Solem . Indeed, the Fourth Circuit has continued to use the Solem test in conducting proportionality reviews under the Eighth Amendment for cases involving life sentences or the death penalty.”
