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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he use of ‘subject’ serves to modify or qualify ‘suspension.’ And, in consulting Webster’s Third New International Dictionary 2275 (1966), we found no use of ‘subject’ to provide such a sense of certainty, as would indicate the automatic con sequence of suspension, as is intended to follow a motorists refusal to take the chemical test.”
