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.

“[Petitioner's] motion to reopen does not allege a violation of his Fifth Amendment right to due process because `the failure to receive relief that is purely discretionary in nature does not amount to a deprivation of a liberty interest.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“any . . . decision or action of the Attorney General the authority for which is specified under this subchapter to be in the discretion of the Attorney General”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Congress explicitly granted federal courts the power to review final orders of removal in § 1252(a)(1), and implicit in this jurisdictional grant is the authority to review orders denying motions to reopen any such final order. Yet, just as our power to review a final order is circumscribed by § 1252(a)(2)’s various jurisdiction-stripping provisions, our jurisdiction to entertain an attack on that order mounted through filing of a motion to reopen is equally curtailed.”
