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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is simply no commonly accepted, definite meaning of the phrase ‘unnatural conduct contrary to the course of nature.’ Accordingly, we must conclude that the statute, as construed in Anthony, [State v. Anthony, 179 Or. 282 , 169 P.2d 587 ] supplies a jury (or a judge sitting without a jury) no legally fixed standards under which to determine guilt. Further, we note that the statute does not supply any standard or basis for a trial judge to apply in submitting one case to a jury or refusing to submit another for jury consideration. This same looseness in the statutory language would allow a state prosecutor to use the statute selectively to rid the community of persons subjectively deemed guilty of committing ‘abnormal’ or ‘unnatural’ acts.” 475 F.2d at 832 .”

A beginning inventory, from arson to zooerastry, can be found in R. von Krafft-Ebing, Psychpathia Sexualis. If a statute allows the district attorney to pick through this catalog and make a felony of any sex-related act that offends his concept of “normal” behavior, the statute is, of course unconstitutional.’ ” 475 F.2d at 832 .”
