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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that should be utilized only in those ‘exceptional circumstances amounting to a judicial usurpation of power.’ A federal court may issue a writ of mandamus only when the appellant has established a ‘clear and indisputable right’ to the relief sought, the court has a nondiscretionary duty to honor that right, and appellant has no other adequate remedy.”
