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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The arrest of federal officers or other persons for acts lawfully done in discharge of their duties under federal laws impairs, to a certain extent, the authority and efficiency of the general government; and for that reason no court, so far as we 'are aware, has ever hesitated in that class of cases to •discharge a petitioner from custody by writ of habeas corpus when it appeared on a hearing of the case that the petitioner was entitled to be released from imprisonment.””
