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

1. ““The plaintiffs attempt to .distinguish their case by claiming that the sanitary garments used in the present case are not ‘clothes’ under § 203(o) and there7 fore, that section should not be applicable. The distinction plaintiffs make, however, is nonsensical.... Webster’s defines ‘clothing’ as ‘covering for the human body or garments in general.’ The plaintiffs here put on, among other things, (1) a lab coat; (2) dedicated shoes or shoe coverings; and (3) hair or beard coverings. These items all appear to fall under the definition of ‘clothes.’ ””
