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

1. “A constitutionally prohibited ex post facto violation requires more than simply a retrospective law which alters a defendant's situation to his disadvantage. Collins, 497 U.S. at 50 , 110 S.Ct. at 2723 . Conversely, a retrospective change in the law is not insulated from ex post facto scrutiny merely by labeling the change a "procedural," because certain procedural changes may deprive a defendant of substantial protections in a manner constituting an ex post facto violation. Collins, 497 U.S. at 45-46 , 110 S.Ct. at 2720 -2721 [citing, among other cases, Beazell, 269 U.S. at 171 , 46 S.Ct. at 69 , and Duncan v. Missouri, 152 U.S. 377 , 382-383, 14 S.Ct. 570, 571-572 , 38 L.Ed. 485 (1894)].”
