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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[c]ourts are ill-equipped and poorly situated to address important reasons for agency inaction, such as the decision that "a problem is not sufficiently important to justify the allocation of significant scarce resources given the nature of the many other problems the agency is attempting to address." 1 KENNETH C. DAVIS & RICHARD J. PIERCE, ADMINISTRATIVE LAW TREATISE § 6.9, at 280 (3d ed.1994).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“When we apply the deference due an administrative agency which Chevron mandates, `[t]he permissive nature of the statute implies broad agency discretion in selecting the appropriate manner of regulation.' EPA's position that the statute allows the agency to impose limits for [nitrogenous biochemical oxygen demand] on a case-by-case basis through the permitting process is a reasonable and permissible reading of the statute, to which we must defer.”
