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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to quarry the dolomite, plaintiffs would require the use of military reservation roads to which defendant has indicated that no access would be allowed due to its detrimental impact on base operations. The Government has taken this position despite the 1942 deed’s explicit reservation of necessary privileges on roads and retention of easements. Furthermore, blasting operations would interfere with missile tracking radar systems, operation of the control station and Vandenburg’s reservoir, and create hazards in missile launching operations. In effect, the use of Tract 83 as a part of an air force base is incompatible with its use as a dolomite quarry.”
