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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A governmental reorganization ... does not always avoid the need for due process. When a purportedly legislative decision affects one person (or a small number of people, as in Misc.), it is possible that the effect of the reorganization on a single person is the object of the exercise rather than the byproduct. In those cases, it is possible to ask whether the reorganization was pretex-tual, designed to harm a specific employee rather than in spite of her or with indifference to its effects on her.”
