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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the collateral were to subsequently appreciate, then the debtor could keep such appreciation upon post-bankruptcy sale of the collateral, resulting in a windfall. (Citation omitted.) The Supreme Court in Dewsnwp found such a result in conflict with the established principle that liens should pass through bankruptcy unaffected. ... It would be impermissible, pursuant to Dewsnup , for the Court today to place a cap on the value of the IRS’ lien and therefore on its eventual collection from that perhaps far-off sale, leaving any appreciation between now and that date for Debtors to enjoy.”
