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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The regime that Congress has set in place narrowly defines our authority to review a petition [of a cancellation decision], The provision codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1252 divests federal courts of jurisdiction to review any judgment regarding the granting of relief relative to cancellation of removal. The statute thereby leaves the matter of whether an alien should receive such relief to the Attorney General’s discretion and precludes our review in the absence of a colorable constitutional claim or question of law.”
