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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[although the right to transfer possession of property is an important attribute of ownership, we cannot say that by briefly suspending this right the County has ‘taken’ appellant’s property. If indeed there is any diminution in value by virtue of a dealer’s temporary inability to transfer possession, such an effect is too incidental to amount to a taking for which compensation is required under the Constitution.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The Constitution does not require all public acts to be done in town meeting or an assembly of the whole. General statutes within the state power are passed that affect the person or property of individuals, sometimes to the point of ruin, without giving them a chance to be heard. Their rights are protected in the only way that they can be in a complex society, by their power, immediate or remote, over those who make the rule.”
