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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The government does not create a public forum by inaction or by permitting limited discourse, but only by intentionally opening a nontraditional forum for public discourse. Accordingly, the Court has looked to the policy and practice of the government to ascertain whether it intended to designate a place not tradi- tionaUy open to assembly and debate as a public forum. The Court has also examined the nature of the property and its compatibility with expressive activity to discern the government’s intent.”

Bay City, 227 F.3d 316 , 320 (5th Cir.2000)(emphasis in original). "In making this legal determination on the materiality of the facts at issue, we review the complaint and record to determine whether, assuming that all of [Plaintiff's] factual assertions are true, those facts are materially sufficient to establish that defendants acted in an objectively unreasonable manner.”

The state's power to restrict speakers' access to this category of public forum is subject to the same first amendment constraints that apply to traditional public forums.”
