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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]pplication of the narrow exception to Ex parte Young carved out by Coeur d'Alene requires an assessment of the intrusion on state sovereignty of the specific relief requested by the plaintiff, not whether the relief merely relates to a more general area of core state sovereign interest.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“... Colville Credit’s actions waived its immunity respecting adjudication of its claim to recover White’s debts.... Col-ville Credit sought to collect its debt by actively participating in the reorganization court. It acknowledged that it had a claim, objected to confirmation of White’s plan of reorganization because it thought it was entitled to more than the plan would have allowed, and it sought relief from the bankruptcy court in the form of an order denying confirmation. It twice voted against plans of reorganization. Having done this, Colville Credit ... “waive[d] any immunity which it otherwise might have had respecting the adjudication of the claim.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissent“In determining whether the doctrine of Ex parte Young avoids an Eleventh Amendment bar to suit, a court need only conduct a `straightforward inquiry into whether [the] complaint alleges an ongoing violation of federal law and seeks relief properly characterized as prospective.'”
