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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the [defendant entity] was not created by the Constitution or by any statute ... and ... it is not ‘the State’ or an ‘agency of the State’ as are agencies like the ... Highway Department, or the ...
