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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Unquestionably, the two robbery convictions fall within the ACCA’s definition of violent felony: (B) the term “violent felony” means any crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year ... that— (i) has as an element the use, attempted use, or threated use of physical force against the person of another; or (ii) is burglary ... 18 U.S.C. § 924 (e)(2)(B). However, the defendant argues that the burglary offense does not fall within this definition.”
