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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In addition to being well-informed about the surrounding facts and circumstances, for purposes of our analysis, a reasonable person is a “ ‘thoughtful observer rather than ... a hypersensitive or unduly suspicious person.’ Finally, a reasonable person is able to appreciate the significance of the facts in light of relevant legal standards and judicial practice and can discern whether any appearance of impropriety is merely an illusion.” 607 F.3d at 478 (citations omitted) (ellipses in original).”
