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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ By the provisions of the statute under which the governor assumed the right to act, he must first determine, before taking any steps whatever, whether the charges are worthy of credit or emanate from a reliable and trustworthy source. This requires the exercise of judgment and discretion, and therefore is not a purely ministerial act.'’”
