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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The opportunity to present a fourth amendment claim to the state trial and appellate courts, whether or not that opportunity is exercised or proved successful, constitutes “an opportunity for full and fair consideration” of a defendant’s fourth amendment claim under Stone absent sufficient factual allegations and proof that the state process is “routinely or systematically applied in such a way as to prevent the actual litigation of fourth amendment claims on the merits.””
