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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“But purposeful discrimination may not be assumed or merely asserted — it must be proven. Tarrance v. Florida, 188 U.S. 519 , 47 L. Ed. 572 , 23 S. Ct. 402 (1903). In the case at bench, there is no proof whatsoever that the system established by statute and applied by King County results in racial discrimination. . . . If there is some statistical formula based on the laws of probability indicating that the statutory mandate results in racial discrimination it is incumbent upon the defendant to not only delineate such a formula for us, but also to express through use of expert testimony its proper application to the facts in this case.”
