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.

We are not free to rewrite the statutory text.... The interest in orderly administration of this body of litigation is best served by adherence to a straightforward statutory command.”
