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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(A) statute often has more than a single, limited purpose . . .. (T)he discovery of a defect may well he cause for legislative review of the statute for other defects. . . . Whatever may be the normal situation with respect to amendments, broad remedying language should not be narrowly interpreted where the change was for the purpose of clarification.” Ibid. (Italics ours.)”
