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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The sentence was not excessive. The evidence related to a number of events or transactions of a flagrant character, reduced by the prosecution to two, separate and independent charges, ‘selling whisky and maintaining a common nuisance.’ There was a common element running through all the transgressions, in violation of the Prohibition Act; but this common element of culpability, instead of reducing the offenses, fixed them definitely at not less than two within the scope of the statute. The jury found the defendants guilty-of both.” McDonough v. United States (C. C. A.) 299 F. 30 .”
