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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As pointed out, pursuant to the published invitation for sealed bids, he submitted Bid Number two * * * on which he predicated his cause of action. This bid was not a direct bid in any specified amount. Merely bidding $10 more than any other bid is not a bona fide valid bid. It was not a fair bid and the Government was not required to give it consideration, especially under a bidding invitation in which the right was reserved to accept or reject any or all bids.””
