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.

“there is only one unresolved factual dispute — the reason for the delay — which is not resolvable based on the pleadings or the record. . Here we have accepted as true [petitioner’s] allegation that there is absolutely no valid excuse for the delay, and yet as a matter of law, ... he has not established a denial of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. In these circumstances an evidentiary hearing would serve no useful purpose.”
