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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“protects the government from liability for damage caused by floods allegedly caused by the operation of a river project which has, as one of its purposes, flood control, if the action giving rise to the damage was undertaken in furtherance of one of the purposes of the multiple purpose project.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[Subsection] 1346(a)(2) ... limits the district court’s jurisdiction to claims involving $10,000 in damages or less. Nowhere in 28 U.S.C. § 1500 does it say that, where the Court of Claims loses its jurisdiction, said jurisdiction becomes vested in the district court. Absent such a provision, this court cannot find that Section 1500 operates to vest this court with jurisdiction over ... claims which seek over $10,000 in damages.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“it is very difficult, if not impossible, as a practical matter to segregate particular ... water releases into precise categories of purpose; a single release may well serve multiple purposes, just as the project itself serves multiple purposes.”
