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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellant’s sympathy with the aims of the Communist Party and his desire to join that party when allowed to do so; - his admission that he had been ‘connected’ therewith for about a year; his attendance at party meetings; his-selling the party organ; his giving money to the Communist Party whenever he could afford it, even though it was only in small amounts — all of these things are, within the meaning of the statute above and particularly subsection (2) quoted, sufficient to establish Wolck’s ‘affiliation’ with the -Communist Party, and consequently determine his liability to deportation. Moreover, the Standard Dictionary defines the term ‘affiliate with’ as ‘to receive on friendly terms; to associate with; to be intimate with; to sympathize with; to consort with’; and Webster’s New International Dictionary defines the term as ‘to connect or associate one’s self with.’ ””
