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 75 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he Code thus contemplates that liens created consensually (such as mortgage liens or UCC security interests) or by judicial action (such as judgment liens, attachments, equitable liens or levies) are not “statutory liens,” while liens that come into being as a result of statutory operation, without consent or judicial action, are “statutory liens.” Given this scheme, we believe that mechanic’s liens qualify as statutory liens. The legislative history to § 101(53) confirms this conclusion.”
