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 968 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  2. “[n]othing in subparagraphs (B) or (C) ... shall be construed as precluding review of constitutional claims or questions of law.”

  3. “[W]e presume that Congress does not intend to limit jurisdiction if 'a finding of preclusion could foreclose all meaningful judicial review'; if the suit is 'wholly collateral to a statute's review provisions'; and if the claims are 'outside the agency's expertise.' " (citation omitted) ). 4 Finally, "[a]ny lingering doubt about the proper interpretation of 8 U.S.C. § 1252 [ ] would be dispelled by a familiar principle of statutory construction: the presumption favoring judicial review of administrative action.”
