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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]n opposing affidavit by the Government is not part of ‘the files and records of the case’ which can be taken to ‘conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief,’ within 28 U.S.C. § 2255 . The principle was established by the Supreme Court as long ago as Walker v. Johnston, 312 U.S. 275 , 61 S.Ct. 574 , 85 L.Ed. 830 (1941), and Waley v. Johnston, 316 U.S. 101 , 62 S.Ct. 964 , 86 L.Ed. 1302 (1942).”
