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.
“In a class-action situation, such a case or controversy must exist between a named class representative and defendants to permit that named plaintiff to seek relief on behalf of himself or herself and the other members of the class, O’Shea v. Littleton, 414 U.S. 488, 494 [ 94 S.Ct. 669, 675 , 38 L.Ed.2d 674 ] (1974). Because plaintiffs here are seeking injunctive relief rather than damages for prior wrongs, mere past exposure to illegal activity is not enough to create a case or controversy. Plaintiffs must show a sufficiently real and immediate threat of future harm to satisfy Article III. (Id. at 495-96), [ 94 S.Ct. at 675-76 ].”
