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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Petitioner] argues that the Tennessee Supreme Court exhaustively reviewed the record for all possible claims: “the [court] expressly stated that ‘[a]fter consideration of ... the entire record,’ it found ‘no reversible error ... committed at trial.’ ” This mischaracterizes the Tennessee Supreme Court’s review; it examined the record pertaining to the issues [petitioner] raised, but those claims he did not present remain defaulted. See Baldwin v. Reese, 541 U.S. 27, 31 , 124 S.Ct. 1347 , 158 L.Ed.2d 64 (2004) (a petitioner does not “fairly present” a federal claim to a state court for exhaustion purposes if the court must look beyond a petition or brief to find material alerting it to the claim).”
