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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In [first amendment] cases the quantification of injury is difficult and damages are therefore not an adequate remedy.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“When the motion to stay the preliminary injunction was filed with this court, the appellees, in opposing the motion, did not cite a single case in support of their position. In their motion to vacate they have overcorrected this omission by citing a large number of cases. One, Mother Goose Nursery Schools v. Sendak, 502 F.Supp. 1319 (N.D.Ind.1980), though distinguishable on its facts, supports their petition. But since it is a district court decision, rendered before Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527 , 101 S.Ct. 1908 , 68 L.Ed.2d 420 (1981) (the principal basis of our opinion in this case), it is not substantial authority in their favor.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Logan is challenging not the Commission's error [the Illinois Fair Employment Practices Commission, corresponding to the school board in this case], but the 'established state procedure' that destroys his entitlement without according him proper procedural safeguards.”
