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.
“With the single exception of the proposed regulations which are silent on the matter, all administrative interpretations of the Act contemplate a final animal-ownership determination by federal authorities. Very importantly, the regulations as ultimately adopted unequivocally give the Act that construction. An administrative interpretation of a statute by an agency entrusted with its administration commands great deference in the courts. Id. 179 U.S.App.D.C. at 256 , 551 F.2d at 442 .”
