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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the past, when Congress has seen fit to immunize certain categories of federal officials, including physicians, it has done so by statute. See 38 U.S.C. § 4116 (1970 ed. and Supp. V); 42 U.S.C. § 233 . . . . Apart from these statutes, this Court has recognized a very narrow category of judicially created absolute immunity for some federal officials, (emphasis supplied).”
