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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In light of Nelson , we conclude that Reid has stated a cognizable claim under § 1983. Like Nelson, Réid does not assert that lethal injection generally is an unconstitutional method of execution. Rather, he asserts only that the particular protocol the State plans to use is impermissible; he acknowledges that other protocols would pass constitutional muster. See Pl.Appellant’s Reply to Def.’s Mot. to Vacate as Moot the Order of Dec. 17, 2003 at 10-11.”
