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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Given Texas’ Western traditions, many Texans would argue that a firearm is as much a part of a house as a stove or refrigerator. Being a native Texan, this Judge can understand that feeling. The Debtors argue that with increasing crime rates, firearms should be considered the household goods. This Court feels that Congress was aware of both those arguments and would have included firearms in § 522(f) with specificity had it wished to adopt those arguments.”
