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.
“[o]ur decision in Blouse expressly adopted the Tarbert plurality’s rationale, along with the guidelines espoused by the plurality. Blouse, 611 A.2d at 1179-80 (“In applying Tarbert to the case sub judiee, the rationale behind upholding the constitutionality of drunk driving roadblocks applies equally to all systematic roadblocks”).... Thus, in reading Blouse , most notably its express adoption of the standards set forth in the Opinion Announcing the Judgment of the Court in Tarbert , it is clear that this Court has already concluded that roadblocks like the present one are not per se unconstitutional.”
