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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * -* The sentence is void merely for the excess. Dodge v. United States, 2 Cir., 258 F. 300, 306 , 7 A.L.R. 1510 . In Wechsler v. United States, 2 Cir., 158 F. 579 , this court, under similar circumstances, reversed and remanded to the District Court, with instructions to enter a sentence in accordance with the statute. We see no reason, however, why we may not adopt the less cumbersome procedure of correcting the sentence by our own mandate, as was done in Salazer v. United States, 8 Cir., 236 F. 541 ; Priori v. United States, 6 Cir., 6 F.2d 575 ; Goode v. United States, 8 Cir., 12 F.2d 742 ; Jackson v. United States, 9 Cir., 102 F. 473 .””
