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 law requires full compliance, absent a minimum of human error. But, even if the law required only substantial compliance, the Court must look to the nature of the interest at stake in determining what is “substantial.” Here, the interest lies in the question of entitlement to subsistence-level benefits making the consequences of failure to comply quite serious .... Individuals deemed eligible for benefits need assistance quickly.”
