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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““[Wjhether an appeal agent is protecting the interests of the Government or the rights of the registrant, it is essential that the registrant receive a copy of the memoranda submitted to the appeal board by the appeal agent and be given sufficient time in which to reply. In such a case, the registrant should be in no worse position than if he had taken his own appeal; in the latter event, he has the right to file a statement on his own behalf before the appeal board. 32 C.F.R. § 1626.12 . ‘[T]he right to file a statement before the Appeal Board includes the right to file a meaningful statement, one based on all the facts in the file and made with awareness of the recommendations and arguments to be countered.’ Gonzales v. United States, 348 U.S. 407, 415, 75 S.Ct. 409, 414 , 99 L.Ed. 467 (1955).” 385 F.2d at 511 .”

2. “The task of the courts in cases such as this is to search the record for some affirmative evidence to support the local board’s overt or implicit finding that a registrant has not painted a complete or accurate picture of his activities. ****** But when the uncontroverted evidence supporting a registrant’s claim places him prima facie within the stautory exemption, dismissal of the claim solely on the basis of suspicion and speculation is both ■ contrary to the spirit of the Act and foreign to our concept of justice. Dickinson v. United States, 346 U.S. 389, 396-397 , 74 S.Ct. 152, 157-158 , 98 L.Ed. 132 (1953).”
