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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A statute is not vague which by orderly processes of litigation can be rendered sufficiently definite and certain for purposes of judicial decision. Courts should consider any limiting instructions of the challenged statute that state authorities have proffered. In fact, it is the duty of the courts to adopt a construction which will sustain a statute and avoid constitutional conflict if its recitation permits such a construction.”
