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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“VEVRA states that, after investigation of a section 2012 complaint, OFCCP need only ‘take appropriate action in accordance with the terms of the contract and applicable laws and regulations.’ 38 U.S.C. § 2012 (b). It provides no indication of what ‘appropriate action’ is; it lists no factors for OFCCP to consider in making that determination; and it specifies no standards for a court to use in cabining the agency’s discretion.”
