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

  1. “habeas jurisdiction over constitutional claims or questions of law.”
    7 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority
  2. “[A]lthough the Attorney General's 'discretionary judgment ... shall not be subject to review,' claims that the discretionary process itself was constitutionally flawed are 'cognizable in federal court on habeas because they fit comfortably within the scope of § 2241.'”

  3. “Bond hearings do not restrict the government's legitimate authority to detain inadmissible or deportable non-citizens; rather, they merely require the government to 'justify denial of bond' with clear and convincing 'evidence that an alien is a flight risk or danger to the community.'”
