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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[P]laintiffs are concerned with obtaining eligibility for furlough rather than maintaining an already realized conditional freedom. Conceding that they are not necessarily entitled to furlough, plaintiffs ask only for individual furlough assessments that may or may not result in their obtaining furlough. As Judge Henry Friendly cogently noted, “there is a human difference between losing what one has and not getting what one wants.” Without deciding whether revocation of furlough implicates due process protections under the Vermont Constitution, we conclude that plaintiffs’ anticipation of furlough is a less significant interest than if they were defending against revocation of furlough.”
