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.

“[n]othing in the treaty prevents a sovereign nation from deporting foreign nationals for other reasons and in other ways should it wish to do so.... To hold that extradition treaties forbid foreign nations to return criminal defendants except in accordance with the formal procedures they contain, would insofar as we are aware, represent a novel interpretation of those treaties. Under such an interpretation, extradition treaties would hinder rather than help serve, the return of those accused of crimes within American jurisdiction.”
