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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he phrase ‘appropriate relief is ambiguous, and does not provide the express language or overwhelming implication that waiver of sovereign immunity requires. The ambiguity of this phrase is only corroborated by the disagreement of the Fourth and Eleventh Circuits in interpreting its language. We conclude that a State need not submit to all remedies merely because it waives its immunity to some forms of relief by receiving federal funds.”
