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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[E]ach secured creditor is in a separate class. Each thus can be treated differently and separately. This is apparent when it is recognized each secured creditor has different collateral or different priorities in collateral. [Section] 1322(b)(2) provides the plan may modify the rights of secured creditors. Thus, the Code recognizes and permits the classification of secured creditors.”
