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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As we discuss above, there can be no doubt that the Daytona Beach ordinance constitutes a valid exercise of the City’s twenty-first amendment power to ban nude dancing in bars. Such a proscription lies at the core of the City’s powers under the twenty-first amendment. The plaintiffs’ conduct in the present case, moreover, rests extremely close’ to this core. Whether or not the ordinance reaches conduct at a distance from these core concerns, the plaintiffs clearly have no standing under Broadrick to challenge, on this basis, the ordinance’s application to them. The plaintiffs’ overbreadth argument lacks foundation.”
