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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is well established that, to pass constitutional muster, a legislative prior restraint must contain certain procedural safeguards.... A decision to issue or deny a license must be made within a brief, specified and reasonably prompt period of time.... Promptness is essential because undue ‘delay compel[s] the speaker’s silence’ while the applicant awaits a decision.... Unreasonable and indefinite delay is tantamount to the complete suppression of speech.”
