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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Court must approach the challenge to the Bankruptcy Rule [13-307(d)] with the history of the rules in mind. The rules were adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States after a long and careful study not only by the Court, but by panels of outstanding attorneys and citizens expert in the field. They were then submitted to Congress for review, and only after such review did they become effective. There is a strong presumption that the Supreme Court did not abridge or modify any substantive right by the rules. There is also a strong presumption that, had the Court so overstepped the authority delegated by the Congress, such transgression would have been noted and the offending rule modified or deleted upon review.””
