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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Senner’s most persuasive argument is that the rating criteria were too subjective .... The result ... is that the assessors could readily manipulate the results .... The problem is that these arguments, even when construed most favorably toward Senner, only show that NTC did not give his credentials the emphasis [that] they may have deserved .... Senner has shown, at best, that NTC’s evaluation criteria require a subjective judgment; they do not suggest that discriminatory intent affected that judgment.”
