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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under Article III of the Constitution, federal courts may adjudicate only actual, ongoing cases or controversies.” “It is of no consequence that the controversy was live at earlier stages in this case; it must be live when we decide the issues.” “Mootness has been described as the doctrine of standing set in a time frame: The requisite personal interest that must exist at the commencement of litigation (standing) must continue throughout its existence (mootness).” A moot case calls into question Article Ill’s case or controversy requirement; therefore, we must first “consider and rule upon the mootness question this case presents.” Further, if this case is indeed moot, we must refrain from reaching the merits because any opinion issued would be merely “advisory” and rest on hypothetical underpinnings.”
