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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Wrongful use in the context of Article 134 ... and paragraph 213y (5) [of the 1969 Manual] ... meant "the knowing use of marihuana without justification or authorization.” See United States v. Harper, 22 M.J. at 162 . The legislative history of Article 112a does not suggest the word “wrongfully” as used in this new codal provision has a different meaning. S.Rep. No. 53, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. 29 (1983). See also 21 U.S.C. § 844 ; United States v. Holloway, 744 F.2d 527, 532 (6th Cir.1984).”
