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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Departments and agencies have primary responsibility for the administrative enforcement of the post-employment restrictions found in the Ethics in Government Act, i.e., 18 U.S.C. § 207 . The Department of Justice may initiate criminal enforcement in cases [under 18 U.S.C. § 207 ] involving aggravated circumstances.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Bragg’s application makes no showing that distinguishes his attorney’s fees from those incurred in a regular grand jury investigation.
