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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[u]nder Ex Parte Young [, 209 U.S. 123 , 28 S.Ct. 441 , 52 L.Ed. 714 (1908) ], private citizens may sue state officials in their official capacities in federal court to obtain prospective relief from ongoing violations of federal law.”

  2. “[The Ex Parte Young exception] to Eleventh Amendment immunity is designed to preserve the constitutional structure established by the Supremacy Clause and rests on the notion, often referred to as a fiction, that a state officer who acts unconstitutionally is stripped of his official or representative character and thus subjected in his person to the consequences of his individual conduct.”
