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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The supreme court shall have exclusive appellate jurisdiction in ⅛11 cases involving the validity of a treaty or statute of the United States, or of a statute or provision of the constitution of this state, the construction of the revenue laws of this state, the title to any state office and in all cases where the punishment imposed is death. The court of appeals shall have general appellate jurisdiction in all cases except those within the exclusive jurisdiction of the supreme court.”

2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]he abrogation or annulling of a previously existing law by the enactment of a subsequent statute which declares that the former law shall be revoked and abrogated (which is called 'express' repeal), or which contains provisions so contrary to or irreconcilable with those of the earlier law that only one of the two statutes can stand in force (called 'implied' repeal). [ BLACKS LAW DICTIONARY ] 1299 [ (6th ed. 1990) ] (emphasis added). Following the plain and ordinary meaning, we find section 116.050 does not require initiative proponents to include all those provisions "affected," "impacted," or "modified" by a proposed measure. Moreover, requiring proponents to "ferret out" all such potential conflicts in the abstract would tend to stifle the initiative process.”
