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 886 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he All Writs Act is a residual source of authority to issue writs that are not otherwise covered by statute. Where a statute specifically addresses the particular issue at hand, it is that authority, and not the All Writs Act, that is controlling.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“These Rules [i.e., Rules 29 and 45] are plain and unambiguous. If, as in this case a guilty verdict is returned, a motion for judgment of acquittal must be filed within seven days of the jury’s discharge, or within an extended period fixed by the court during that 7-day period. There is simply no room in the text of Rules 29 and 45(b) for the granting of an untimely postverdict motion for judgment of acquittal, regardless of whether the motion is accompanied by a claim of legal innocence, is filed before sentencing, or was filed late because of attorney error.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[w]hatever the scope of [a court's] 'inherent power,' ... it does not include the power to develop rules that circumvent or conflict with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”
