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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]he mere possibility of erroneous initial application of constitutional standards” does not in this case, “amount to the irreparable injury neeessary to justify a disruption of orderly state proceedings”. Id. at 481 , quoting from Dombrowski v. Pfister, 380 U.S. 479, 484-485 , 85 S.Ct. 1116 , 14 L.Ed.2d 22 (1965).”
