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 95 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"With our dual system of state and federal laws, administered by parallel state and federal courts, different standards may arise in different areas. But when state courts interpret state law to require more than the Federal Constitution requires, the citizens of the state must be aware that they have the power to amend state law to ensure rational law enforcement. The people of Florida have now done so with respect to Art. 1, § 12 of the State Constitution; they have it within their power to do so with respect to Florida Statute § 327.56 [the statute involved that was interpreted by the Florida Supreme Court contrary to what the Chief Justice believed its interpretation should be.]." Florida v. Casal, supra, at ___, 103 S.Ct. at 3101-02 (Burger, J., concurring) (Emphasis added.)”
