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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Every person shall be at liberty to speak, write or publish his opinions on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that privilege....” To further support the conclusion that Article I section 8 does not extend to topless/exotic dancing, Rahmani also provides that there is a "less vital interest in uninhibited exhibition of material on the borderline between pornography and artistic expression than in free dissemination of ideas of social and political significance.”
