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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We point out that the district court might well have denied relief under Section 552 on the basis of affidavits which state that the Selective Service System kept no “identifiable records” of personnel data about board personnel. In our computerized society this is somewhat difficult to understand. Nevertheless, there is no denial that these records are not “identifiable” and consequently the attorney established no right under the statutory language of Section 552.”
