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.

“We begin our analysis with the proposition that a defendant does not have a state or federal constitutional right to standby counsel_ Once a defendant has properly embarked on the path of self-representation, his constitutional right to counsel ceases.... The defendant’s claim that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel is without merit because, after deciding to proceed pro se, he had no constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel in any capacity.”
