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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A declaration by the president consistent with the Joint Resolution] would constitute a pronouncement by the government of the United States — that truth and virtue lie within the [B]ible and that falseness and evil lie without. The implication is so powerful as hardly to be described as implication, that those who fail or refuse to accept and to apply biblical teaching abide in falseness and evil. To be subjected to such reproach by one’s government is to suffer bona fide injury.”
