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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Brattens are not entitled to receive damages for interest repaid to either the federal government or to the state government. The Brattens had the use of these monies and, presumably, were able to earn interest while they held it. Therefore, paying the interest penalties effectively cost the Brattens nothing.”
