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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If counsel mean to claim that it is insufficient because contradictory to the second and verified defense, and that contradictory defenses are not tolerated, this answer is complete; such objection cannot be raised by demurrer. This question on demurrer is whether this defense be sufficient; not whether it contradicts or is inconsistent with some other.” (See, also, Herd v. Estes, 154 Kan. 316, 321 , 118 P. 2d 575 .)”
