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.
““Where a person has violated the criminal statutes of two different sovereignties, it is for the interested sovereignties, and not for the criminal, to decide how the punishment inflicted upon such person shall be served, and the order of such service. State v. McKee, 193 La. 39 , 190 So. 325 . Arrangements so made between the Federal Government and a State do not concern the defendant or prisoner who has violated the laws of each sovereignty. Stamphill v. Johnston, 9 Cir., 136 F.2d 291 .””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““Comity between the United States Government and the several States permits a Federal prisoner, with the consent of the United States, to be delivered to a State for service of a sentence in vindication of State laws. If such prisoner is released by the Federal Government during the time of service of a Federal sentence imposed upon him, confinement in a State Penitentiary will, of course, be computed as servitude under the Federal sentence.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““The sovereign having the prior and exclusive jurisdiction and custody of a prisoner may voluntarily surrender him to the other sovereign for the purpose of trial and sentence on a criminal charge. The matter of waiver of exclusive jurisdiction involves no personal right of the petitioner; it is not subject to his control; it addresses itself solely to the discretion of the sov- ’ ereign.””
