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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 43 of our State Constitution prohibits the Executive branch from exercising either legislative or judicial powers. Section 72 of our Constitution specifically prohibits the payment out of the treasury of money ‘except upon appropriations made by law.’ Amendment 111, which states that it is the policy of the State ‘to foster and promote the education of its citizens,’ does not grant additional powers to the Executive. The power to appropriate is still legislative.””
