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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The facts admitted by Smith constituted a violation of 18 U.S.C. 641, and this is not a case of a defendant pleading to a charge that does not constitute a crime. A mis-citation is not ground for vacating an otherwise valid plea.”
