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.
“1. Petitioner has not deliberately by-passed state remedies. 2. Exhaustion of state remedies would be futile, and abstention is inappropriate. 3. This Court, acting with a single judge, has jurisdiction to pass on the constitutionality of the state statute under attack here; and 4. Respondent was ordered to show cause why habeas corpus relief should not be granted and why Florida Statutes, section 877.03, F.S.A., should not be held unconstitutional on its face or as applied. 1”
