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

  1. ““While the board was justified in considering the lateness of Capobianco’s claim as reflecting on the reality of the crystallization of his conscientious objection, we have held ‘it would be improper to conclude that an individual is not a genuine conscientious objector merely because his beliefs did not ripen until after he received his notice,’ United States v. Gearey I, 368 F.2d 144, 149-150 (2 Cir. 1966), cert. denied, 389 U.S. 959 , 88 S.Ct. 335 , 19 L.Ed.2d 368 (1967).””
