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 79 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]n application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court shall not be granted with respect to any claim that was adjudicated on the merits in State court proceedings unless the adjudication of the claim ... resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States____”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“When a habeas petitioner fails to obtain consideration of a claim by a state court, either due to the petitioner’s failure to raise that claim before the state courts while state-court remedies are still available or due to a state procedural rule that prevents the state courts from reaching the merits of the petitioner’s claim, that claim is procedurally defaulted and may not be considered by the federal court on habeas review.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“First, the court must determine whether there is such a procedural rule that is applicable to the claim at issue and whether the petitioner did, in fact, fail to follow it. Second, the court must decide whether the state courts actually enforced [their] procedural sanction. Third, the court must decide whether the state’s procedural forfeiture is an adequate and independent ground on which the state can rely to foreclose review of a federal constitutional claim. This question will usually involve an examination of the legitimate state interests behind the procedural rule in light of the federal interest in considering federal claims. And, fourth, the petitioner must demonstrate, ... that there was “cause” for him to neglect the procedural rule and that he was actually prejudiced by the alleged constitutional error.”
