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 129 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here it is impossible to determine from the judge’s remarks in imposing sentence . whether he was at least in part influenced by the [vacated] conviction under count 1 in setting sentence on counts 2 through 4. However, certain factors indicate that this is quite probable. s}; * * * * * [Accordingly], we have determined that it is not improbable that the initial sentencing process with respect to the valid counts was to some extent affected by the conviction on the far more serious count 1, which was illegally brought. To purge this possible taint after the fact . . the order is vacated and the cause remanded.” McGee v. United States, supra, at 462 F.2d 245 -6, 247.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Courts, which have so rightly imposed a requirement of the statement of reasons on local draft boards . and on administrative agencies . . . are not exempt from this duty in appropriate circumstances.” (citations omitted)”
