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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Each of the challenged sections of Article 607 defines a vagrant as being a person who “has no visible means of support” or who has “no property to support” him. No standard is given to guide officials charged with enforcing this statute as to what is meant by these terms. Thus, the statute impermissibly places unfettered discretion in the hands of the police.”
