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.
“(1) unfounded in reason and in fact, (2) based on reasoning so palpably faulty that no judge or group of judges, could ever conceivably have made such a ruling and (3) mistakenly based on a crucial assumption that is conceivably a non-fact.
