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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The basis of the discriminatory treatment in debtor’s plan appears to be the fact that the student loan indebtedness is not dischargeable. Debtor seeks to exit bankruptcy free of student loan liability at the expense of other unsecured creditors. In essence, debtor’s plan shifts the student loan non-dischargeability burden from herself onto her general unsecured creditors by paying them less during the course of her plan so that she might repay her full student loan indebtedness. This Court does not find such rationale to be a reasonable basis for discriminatory treatment in the Chapter 13 plan.”
