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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“under sections 1201-09, it seems sufficient that the court in Lapin was careful to point out that its decision did not apply to persons not employed by the federal government and accordingly is without application in this case. Thus, in note 11, it said: 65 This decision specifically does not address the question of whether whistle blowers who are not employed by the federal government are within the ambit of Sec. 1985(3) protection. In order to satisfy the Ninth Circuit test, it will be necessary for them to find another”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Buschi v. Kirven · Buschi v. Kirven“While [section] 1985(3) has been liberated from the now anachronistic historical circumstances of reconstruction America, we may not uproot [section] 1985(3) from the principle underlying its adoption: the Governmental determination that some groups require and warrant special federal assistance in protecting their civil rights. This underlying principle must continue to determine the coverage of [section] 1985(3).”
