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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The heading of a statute section, however, does not limit the plain meaning of the text of the statute because headings are “[f]or interpretative purposes, they are of use only when they shed light on some ambiguous word or phrase” and should be used as “tools available for the resolution of doubt.” The heading for section 1252 “appears to have a broader scope than simply setting forth the jurisdictional limits of review of orders of removal.” The Supreme Court stated that “protecting the Executive’s discretion from the courts ... can fairly be said to be the theme of the [IIRIRA] legislation.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Although denials of Hl-B visas are not enumerated specifically in the IIRIRA legislation, the plain language of the legislation necessarily precludes judicial review of the discretionary denial of the H1-B visa petition. See CDI Info. Servs., Inc. v. Reno, 278 F.3d 616, 620 (6th Cir.2002). Therefore, INA § 242(a)(2)(B)(ii), codified as 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B)(ii), deprives this Court of jurisdiction to review the denial of the Hl-B visa petition.”
