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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“has departed from the United States for any period in excess of 90 days or for any periods in the aggregate exceeding 180 days.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“it is very unlikely that Congress intended to apply only the stop-time rule retroactively, and not the 90/180-day rule. IIRIRA § 309(c)(5)(A) states that both provisions apply to aliens whose deportation proceedings were pending on the date of IIRIRA's enactment and there is no indication that the two provisions should be applied differently.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“during all of such period he was and is a person of good moral character.”
