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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a general rule, the decisions, opinions, or findings of a court ... do not constitute a judgment or decree, but merely form the basis on which the judgment is subsequently to be rendered. . . . A court’s determination that is not part of the judgment has no legal effect. ... A judicial announcement of what judgment might be rendered under specified circumstances yet to occur is not a judgment.”
