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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The qualified immunity question here boils down to whether, in light of the law and facts, Judqe Cantrell could have reasonably believed that [Evanouski’s] position[ ][is] unprotected. As touched on above, the question of whether the position[ ][is] protected turns considerably on the nature of the position[ ], which is generally in genuine factual dispute at this point. Although qualified immunity is a question of law that a court should resolve before trial if possible, the court cannot do so where the question turns on facts that are in dispute.”
