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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Only if the language is ambiguous-meaning capable of more than one reasonable interpretation-does an appellate court look behind the plain language to the legislative history or resort to canons of construction.”
