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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As to the loss of rehabilitation programs, the Moody majority notes that under its prior analysis in Meachum v. Fano [ 427 U.S. 215 , 96 S.Ct. 2532 , 49 L.Ed.2d 451 ] . . . not every change in the conditions of confinement activates a due process right. . However, this Court notes that the Seventh Circuit has concluded that even though a loss of opportunity to participate in certain intra-institutional programs may be insufficient to trigger a due process mechanism under Meachum, loss of opportunities for condi tional liberty, for example furlough and parole, may constitute a grievous loss. . The plaintiff here has asserted that he faces loss of such opportunities due to the Kentucky detainer.”
