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.
“The governor may remove from office any * * * county attorney * * * when it appears to him by competent evidence, that the officer has been guilty of malfeasance or nonfeasance in the performance of his official duties. Prior to removal, he shall give to the officer a copy of the charges against him and an opportunity to be heard in his defense.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Morris v. Perpich“neutral presentation of all evidence for and against the official, not merely the disclosure of evidence found to support the petition for removal. Counsel’s role, is, in that manner, distinguishable from that of a prosecuting attorney.”
