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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “the State approaches this issue from the wrong perspective, asking whether the statute “limits” the court’s sentencing authority. District courts do not have inherent authority to impose criminal sentences except as “limited” by statute. To the contrary, it is well-established that... a district court has no power to impose a sentence in the absence of specific statutory authority.”
