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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“''The Legislative authority of the State shall be vested in a Legislature, consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives; but the people reserve to themselves the power to propose laws and amendments to the Constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls independent of the Legislature, and also reserve power at their own option to approve or reject at the polls any act of the Legislature."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“Our decision in Granger [ v. City of Tulsa, 1935 OK 801 , 174 Okla. 565 , 51 P.2d 567 ] is consistent with the holding in State v. Coyle, 1912 OK CR 126 , 7 Okla.Crim. 50 , 122 P. 243 which recognized the fundamental constitutional principle that a legislative body may not irrevocably bind its successors.”
