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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whether this analysis [that used in Wilson and Goodman ] should be extended beyond the Reconstruction Acts and laws forbidding racial discrimination to statutes like § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, remains an open question. Goodman , however, in characterizing discrimination claims as a “fundamental injury to the individual rights of a person” and thus akin to personal injury actions, seems to suggest an affirmative answer.”
