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 claim that it was not a resolution which, under the statute, the mayor had the power to veto has no force. The statute provides that no ordinance or resolution passed by the council shall have any force or effect if the notice is given, and such ordinance or resolution shall not go into effect when the veto message is interposed within the time prescribed, unless the same is passed over the veto by a two-thirds vote of all the aldermen-elect.””
