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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I write separately to point out that the majority opinion's statutory analysis ... is a departure from that which has been this court's mode of statutory analysis and that it is not one that the court has discussed and decided to adopt. The majority opinion employs the analytic framework for a statute that is ambiguous, while purposely not analyzing whether [the statute] is ambiguous. This is a change in our traditional analysis .... I offer no opinion about whether our mode of statutory analysis ought to be changed. However, when we change the statutory analysis in a majority opinion without explaining that the majority of the court has not decided to change its analysis, we lead our readers to conclude that we have changed.”
