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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In construing statutes, we search for the legislature’s intent as evidenced by what the legislature said, rather than what it might have said. In addition, “[w]hen the text of a statute is plain and its meaning clear, the court should not search for a meaning beyond the express terms of the statute.” Applying these rules here, we must conclude .'.. [t]he statute is absolute in its terms.... To adopt [a different] interpretation of this statute would require us to read something into the law that is not apparent from the words chosen by the legislature. This we cannot do.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“If [the amendment] follows immediately and after controversies upon the use of doubtful phraseology therein have arisen as to the true construction of the prior law it is entitled to great weight. If it takes place after a considerable lapse of time and the intervention of other sessions of the legislature, a radical change of phraseology would indicate an intention to supply some provisions not embraced in the former statute.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 901.5 and 907.3, the court shall not defer judgment or sentencing, or suspend execution of any part of the sentence applicable to the defendant under subsection 2 if any of the following apply: 1.
