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.
“The crucial issue here ... is not that petitioner had notice that he would forfeit his accrued good time if he violated parole, but that the forfeiture provision, which was passed after the commission of the [first offense], alters his punishment for that offense to his disadvantage. The forfeiture is not a punishment for the second offense; the ... prison term is the punishment. Rather, the forfeiture of good time is a sanction that extends the time remaining on the petitioner’s original sentence. The practical effect is a statutory increase in punishment for the first offense, enacted subsequent to the commission of the offense.”
