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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) It shall be unlawful for any person ... to intentionally disseminate obscenity. A person . . . disseminates obscenity within the meaning of this Article if he . . .: (1) Sells . . . any obscene writing, picture, record or other representation or embodiment of the obscene; or (3) Publishes, exhibits or otherwise makes available anything obscene; or (4) . . . [S]ells . . . any obscene still or motion picture, film, filmstrip, or projection slide, or sound recording, sound tape, or sound track, or any matter or material of whatever form which is a representation, embodiment, performance, or publication of the obscene.”
