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 61 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“assume without explanation that proper standards are implicit in every act of agency discretion.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The District of Columbia Administrative Procedure Act (DC-APA) expressly imposes such a requirement in “contested cases”. That, of course, does not bar imposing a requirement of stated reasons in the present context. On the contrary, the legislative history of the DC-APA indicates Congress assumed that we would construct such a requirement or believed that the courts already had. That act was meant only to prescribe minimum procedures.”
