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 71 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A federal habeas court plainly cannot grant relief where the last state court to consider the claim raised by the petitioner expressly and unambiguously based its denial of relief on an independent and adequate state law procedural ground. Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 729-30 , 111 S.Ct. 2546 , 115 L.Ed.2d 640 (1991). A state procedural rule is adequate if it is “firmly established” and regularly and consistently applied by the court. James v. Kentucky, 466 U.S. 341, 348 , 104 S.Ct. 1830 , 80 L.Ed.2d 346 (1984). A state procedural rule is independent if it does not depend on a federal constitutional ruling. Ake v. Oklahoma, 470 U.S. 68, 75 , 105 S.Ct. 1087 , 84 L.Ed.2d 53 (1985).”
