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

The question is not whether the consenting person had the power to waive another’s constitutional rights. Commonwealth ex rel. Cabey v. Rundle, 432 Pa. 466 , 248 A.2d 197 (1968).”
