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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[Cjounsel will not be deemed unconstitutionally deficient because of tactical decisions.” There is a strong presumption that counsel’s performance was reasonable and adequate, with great deference being shown to choices dictated by reasonable strategy. “The presumption of reasonableness is even stronger when we are reviewing the performance of an experienced trial counsel.” To overcome this presumption, the petitioner “must establish that no competent counsel would have taken the action that his counseldid take.””
