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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“an appropriations bill must not change or amend existing law on subjects other than appropriations.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage“Laws making appropriations for salaries of public officers and other current expenses of the state shall contain provisions on no other subject.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“"... it would be a serious mistake to interpret our acceptance of jurisdiction in this cause as a general willingness to thrust the court into the political arena and referee on a biennial basis the assertions of power of the executive and legislative branches in relation to the appropriations act.” Brownson v. Firestone, 382 So. 2d 654, 671 (Fla. 1980).”
