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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘The rational basis test contains two substantive hmitations on legislative choice: (1) legislative enactments must implicate legitimate goals, and (2) the means chosen by the legislature must bear a rational relationship to those goals. These limitations amount to a prescription that all persons similarly situated should be treated alike.’ ” State v. Mueller, 271 Kan. 897, 903 , 27 P.3d 884 (2001), cert. denied 535 U.S. 1001 (2002) (quoting Chiles v. State, 254 Kan. 888, 895 , 869 P.2d 707 , cert. denied 513 U.S. 850 [1994]).”
