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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Id., at 130. Nevertheless, the district court subsequently held that its failure to inform Whyte of the correct exposure was harmless error. The court of appeals reversed. 10 We recognize that some of the language of the opinion in Raineri, like the language in Andrades, suggests that the court is applying a bright line rule. For example, the court states:”
