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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`It is elementary that neither habeas corpus nor motion in the nature of application for writ of error coram nobis can be availed of in lieu of writ of error or appeal, to correct errors committed in the course of a trial, even though such errors relate to constitutional rights. It is only when there has been the denial of the substance of a fair trial that the validity of the proceedings may be thus collaterally attacked or questioned by motion in the nature of petition for writ of error coram nobis or under 28 U.S.C.A. 2255.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“A motion under Section 2255 is a post-conviction proceeding to enable a federal prisoner to attack the validity of a sentence, if the sentence is `in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States'. But the constitutional ground must be `such denial or infringement of the constitutional rights of the prisoner as to render the judgment vulnerable to collateral attack.' A collateral attack may be sustained only upon grounds which would warrant granting a writ of habeas corpus.”
