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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Yet [the plaintiff] has not yet experienced the procedures she challenges, and so, at first blush, it appears difficult to question the district court’s conclusion that [the plaintiff] lacked standing; without having been injured by these procedures, she resembles a mere outsider with a non-justiciable ‘general grievance.’ See United States v. Hays, 515 U.S. 737, 743 , 115 S.Ct. 2431 , 132 L.Ed.2d 635 (1995) (“[W]e have repeatedly refused to recognize a generalized grievance against allegedly illegal government conduct as sufficient for standing to invoke the federal judicial power.”); Herrada v. City of Detroit, 275 F.3d 553, 558 (6th Cir.2001)(“Herra-da lacks standing to argue that hearings are not held despite requests by vehicle owners, because she elected to pay the fine rather than request a hearing.”). But this case .is more complicated than that.”
