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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Even if the bankruptcy court’s equitable powers are great, there are limits to that authority. One of them is 28 U.S.C. § 1738 , the statutory clause requiring that state court judgments be given full faith and credit in federal courts as they would in the state that issued them. Thus, the bankruptcy court was required to find that the Bulks owed Ivan Bulic the amount entered in the state court judgment, since Indiana courts would find that judgment preclusive.”
