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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Of course, many laws that are enacted by the Legislature touch in some way existing laws, either by amending, extending, or repealing them,, but, notwithstanding this, the Legislature, by a new act that does not purport in its title or body to amend, revise, or extend an existing law, may, in.fact revise, amend, or extend it, free from the control of section 51, and this has been often done.””
