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

1. “may not materially alter the status of the case on appeal.”

   2 later decisions quote this exact passage
   e.g. Doe v. Trump · E. Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Barr

2. “The named plaintiffs either face or have faced the choice between following work incentive program rules and obeying the Qur’an. Prison officials do not argue that the named plaintiffs are somehow immune from having to work on Fridays in the future. The prisoners have standing to seek injunctive relief, and a holding to the contrary would allow prison officials to defeat prisoners’ claims simply by changing individual plaintiffs’ work schedules as soon as they file suit.”

3. “utterly failed to show any ripple effect among inmates and staff from the narrow scope of the injunction. Prison administrators have implemented the injunction by logging inmates’ unexcused absences as always; the only change is that unexcused absences attributable to Jumu'ah attendance are off bounds to the disciplinary ‘ process ... [T]he absence of Muslim inmates for about one hour on Fridays only will not disrupt the operation of the work incentive program.”
