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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Congress provided that actions to collect on defaulted student loans were no longer subject to any statute of limitations. See 20 U.S.C. § 1091a(a) (footnote omitted). Moreover, Congress made HETA effective as if it were enacted under COBRA. See HETA § 3(c), Pub.L. No. 102-26,105 Stat. 123,125. (footnote omitted). By doing so, Congress not only eliminated COBRA’s six-year statute of limitations period, but also revived all actions which otherwise would have been time-barred. See 20 U.S.C. § 1091a(a); see also U.S. v. Hodges, 999 F.2d 341, 341-42 (8th Cir.1993) (government could bring action to recover on defaulted student loan even though loan was defaulted in 1969 and loan was assigned to government in 1983 and would have been time-barred under the six-year limitations period); U.S. v. Glockson, 998 F.2d 896, 897 (11th Cir.1993) (same; “Congress intended the HETA amendments to apply retroactively to all student loan collection actions”); U.S. v. Mastrovito, 830 F.Supp. 1281, 1282-84 (D.Ariz.1993) (same); U.S. v. Davis, 801 F.Supp. 581, 583-84 (M.D.Ala.1992) (same); U.S. v. Wall, 794 F.Supp. 350, 351-52 (D.Or.1992) (same).”
