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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The burden of proving expatriation generally is upon the defendant who affirmatively alleges it and the burden is a ‘heavy’ one. Factual doubts are to be resolved in favor of citizenship. The burden of proof on the government in an expatriation case is like that in denaturalization; the evidence must be clear, unequivocal and convincing. The rule prevailing in denaturalization cases, that ‘the facts and the law should be construed as far as is reasonably possible in favor of the citizen’ equally applies to expatriation cases. American citizenship is not to ‘be lightly taken away.’ ””
