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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“To permit debtors in Chapter 11 reorganization to cancel their B Stock would do more than impair the P.C.A.’s claims in these two cases; it would alter the capital structure of the P.C.A. and would seriously undermine the functioning of the whole farm credit system as envisioned by Congress under the Farm Credit Act.”
