4 canonical passages across 4 cases, quoted by 15 opinions in total. These passages cluster together because the same opinions keep quoting them side by side: they state parts of one doctrine. The anchor passage is from United States v. Law.
| # | Case | Flag | Canonical passage | Citers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | United States v. Law Anchor | green | “for policy reasons unrelated to innocence or an error of law.” | 4 |
| 2 | United States v. Dyke | green | “it's unclear why a federal statute aimed at punishing recidivism (as 841(b)(1)(a) is) would afford the defendant” | 4 |
| 3 | United States v. Norbury | green | “whether a defendant's prior state conviction was a 'conviction' within the meaning of 841 is a question of federal, not state, law.” | 4 |
| 4 | United States v. Gerald Ray Bergeman | green | “although the state's statute can determine the status of the conviction for purposes of state law, it cannot rewrite history for the purposes of the administration of the federal criminal law or the interpretation of federal criminal statutes.” | 3 |
