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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Which reading of Perkins is correct? For now, it is enough to conclude that the question is within the realm of reasonable debate, for Perkins can be read either expansively or narrowly. The availability of conflicting interpretations is unsurprising in light of our competing principles guiding interpretations like Perkins . On the one hand, the language of a judicial decision must be interpreted with reference to the circumstances of the particular case and the question under consideration.... But on the other hand, the discovery of what facts are material in any decision is by no means easy. Generally, we ascertain the materiality of individual facts based on which ones are emphasized in a given opinion.”
