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 104 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`[W]here another provision of the Constitution provides an explicit textual source of constitutional protection, a court must assess a plaintiff's claims under that explicit provision and not the more generalized notion of substantive due process.'”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Though a decision to remove a child from parental custody implicates the constitutional rights of the parents, it obliges protective services caseworkers to choose between difficult alternatives in the context of suspected child abuse. If they err in interrupting parental custody, they may be accused of infringing the parents’ constitutional rights. If they err in not removing the child, they risk injury to the child and may be accused of infringing the child’s rights.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Although the usual phrasing of the seizure test is difficult to apply here — [the infant] is unlikely to have had a “belief’ as to whether or not she was free to leave the Hospital — [the infant’s motion] was told in no uncertain terms that she could not take [the infant] home from the Hospital. It was clear to [the mother], if not to [the infant], that [the infant] was not free to leave.”
