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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the Respondents did not follow their own procedures set forth in [South Carolina statutes] when appointing counsel for the Petitioner ... then the Respondents cannot invoke Chapter 154 of the AEDPA against the Petitioner in this federal habeas action, even assuming [South Carolina statute] does satisfy 28 U.S.C. § 2261 (b) and (c). This Court is expressly not passing on the issue of whether [South Carolina statute] meets the requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 2261 (b) and (c), because it is not necessary to reach that issue.”
