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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Younger , the Supreme Court articulated the strong policy considerations that counsel against the exercise of jurisdiction in the face of ongoing state proceedings: [T]he concept [of federalism] repre-sentes] ... a system in which there is sensitivity to the legitimate interests of both State and National Governments, and in which the National Government, anxious though it may be to vindicate and protect federal rights and federal interests, always endeavors to do so in ways that will not unduly interfere with the legitimate activities of the States. Younger, 401 U.S. at 44 , 91 S.Ct. 746 . Younger itself involved federal abstention from a request to enjoin a state criminal proceeding, see id. at 53 , 91 S.Ct. 746 , but similar policy concerns apply when there is a pending state administrative proceeding. Ohio Civil Rights Comm’n v. Dayton Christian Schools, Inc., 477 U.S. 619 , 106 S.Ct. 2718 , 91 L.Ed.2d 512 (1986); Middlesex County Ethics Committee v. Garden State Bar Association, 457 U.S. 423, 431-32 , 102 S.Ct. 2515 , 73 L.Ed.2d 116 (1982).”
