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.
“diluted voting power, denial of undivided loyalty, and denial of the right to have their Senators exclusively elected by Tennessee citizens do not identify any “concrete and particularized” injury which they have suffered or will suffer because of the defendants’ conduct. Such generalized and conjectural allegations fall far short of the requirement of a “distinct and palpable injury.” ... In essence, these allegations merely suggest that Tennessee citizens may be injured as a result of contributions of non-citizens of Tennessee, which is unquestionably a generalized and hypothetical injury.”
