These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 99 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the United States in fact employs counsel to represent its interest in a litigation or otherwise actively aids in its conduct, it is properly enough deemed to be a party and not a stranger to the litigation and bound by its results. Compare United States v. Candelaria, 271 U.S. 432 , [ 46 S.Ct. 561 , 70 L.Ed. 1023 ; 10 Cir.,] 16 F.2d 559 , with Logan v. United States, [10 Cir.,] 58 F.2d 697 . But to bind the United States when it is not formally a party, it must have a laboring oar in a controversy.”
