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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[although the complaint’s description of ‘the global nature of the wheat pricing mechanism’ may paint a plausible scenario by which [defendants’] conduct in Iraq might well have been a factual, or ‘but for,’ cause of a drop in domestic wheat prices, such ‘but for’ causation is not the type of direct causation contemplated by the FTAIA. Accepting as true plaintiffs’ allegations that [defendants’] conduct foreclosed the Iraqi wheat market to U.S.-grown wheat, that this foreclose affected the projected Ending Stocks for U.S.-grown wheat, and that the ‘main determinant’ of domestic wheat prices is the level of projected Ending Stocks, the fact remains that a myriad of other factors— including foreign and domestic market conditions, crop yields, harvesting and transportation costs, and other factors affecting global supply and demand— also impacted projected Ending Stocks, and hence domestic wheat prices during the proposed class period.”
