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.
““In 1946, this Court articulated the standard to be applied in testing flight patterns over private property against the Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendment. United States v. Causby, 328 U. S. 256 . We held that ‘the flight of airplanes, which skim the surface but do not touch it, is as much an appropriation of the use of the land as a more conventional entry upon it.’ We noted that the important factor is whether the intrusion impinges on ‘the owner’s full enjoyment of the property and ... his exploitation of it.’ Id., at 264-265 . And, in 1962, we reiterated that standard. Griggs v. Allegheny County, 369 U. S. 84 .””
