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.
““Even after Jones Bey , some confusion may have lingered as to this court’s reading of the PLRA’s exhaustion requirement in light of our decision in Hartsfield . Today we make clear that we continue to subscribe to the long-held standard that ‘[questions which merely lurk in the record, neither brought to the attention of the court nor ruled upon, are not to be considered as having been so decided as to constitute precedents.’ ” ... Thus, although the total/partial exhaustion question lurked amid the record in Hartsfield , that case did not address nor decide the issue so as to be binding upon this court. By contrast, Jones Bey definitively answered the question presented here and we now follow it. (Internal citations omitted).”
