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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Secretary was empowered, to sue only under specific conditions, but the Secretary was at the same time given broad investigatory powers. See 29 U.S.C. § 521 . That power to investigate election complaints has been held not to be subject to the exhaustion requirement of 29 U.S.C. § 482 ---- Furthermore, the Secretary may pursue violations without the issuance of a complaint by a union member.”
