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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant's real complaint is that he has a contractual right not to be prosecuted, ... but this obviously implies that he has performed his part of the bargain. The appellant failed to live up to his obligation and this agreement ... contained no time limit on the government’s right to [¡prosecute the defendant in the event of noncompliance. One who fails to carry out his part of the bargain cannot invoke the agreement against the government.”
