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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'the conception of a claim against the government normally connotes a demand for money or for some transfer of public property' "; in agreeing to insure a home improvement loan, however, the government had "disburse[d] no funds nor [had] it otherwise suffer[ed] immediate financial detriment.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““While the word ‘claim’ may sometimes be used in the broad juridicial sense of ‘a demand of some matter as of right, made by one person upon another, to do or to forbear to do some act or thing as a matter of duty,’ Prigg v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 16 Pet. 539, 615 ( 10 L.Ed. 10 .60), it is clear, in the light of the entire context, that in the present statute, the provision relating to the payment or approval of a ‘claim upon or against’ the Government relates solely to the payment or approval of a claim for money or property to which a right is asserted against the Government, based wpon the Government’s own liability to the claimant.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
