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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Supreme Court held that ... Discon cannot succeed on its § 1 claim unless it alleges and proves that NYNEX’s action caused harm, not just to Discon itself, but to competition as a whole in the relevant market. The Court held that this requirement to allege and prove market-ivide anticom-petitive effects applied to both the § 1 and § 2 conspiracy claims.”
