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.
““This statute fixes the time within which petitions for nomination must be filed. In this case the last day was Saturday, October 3, 1936. The office of the secretary of state customarily closes at 12 M. on Saturdays, and the usual custom was followed on the Saturday in question. “The statute is a reasonable one, and it is mandatory.””
