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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “(1) Notwithstanding s. 222.20, an individual debtor under the federal Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 may exempt, in addition to any other exemptions allowed under state law, any property listed in subsection (d)(10) of s. 522 of that act.”

  2. “No writ of attachment or garnishment or other process shall issue from any of the courts of this state to attach or delay the payment of any money or other thing due to any person who is the head of a family residing in this state, when the money or other thing due is for the personal labor or services of such person.”

  3. “The Bankruptcy Code was enacted as a comprehensive scheme to regulate debt- or-creditor relationships after the filing of a bankruptcy petition. As part of this scheme, responsibility for defining what property debtors will take out of bankruptcy is shared with the states. The district court’s preemption conclusion was based upon its reasoning that “state law exemptions are not necessary to the enforcement of the Bankruptcy Code,” which “can operate effectively without any state law.” Evidently Congress did not think so, because it included in the Bankruptcy Code the provision, 11 U.S.C. § 522 (b)(1), that gives states the authority to define exemptions .... [T]he language of the ERISA saving clause applies whenever preemption would alter or amend or modify any federal law. A holding that state exemption statutes like the one involved in this case, are preempted would alter, amend, or modify the Bankruptcy Code’s provision permitting states to set exemptions and the deliberate policy choices of Congress that underlie that provision. We do no believe that Congress intended that result.”
