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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * This affected many parts of the bill, and cannot be regarded for a moment as immaterial or trivial. Granting that any bill at all passed the legislature, it is absolutely certain that it was an entirely different bill from that which the governor signed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“That it never in fact passed the legislature, or, if it did pass, it did not pass by a yea and nay vote; and hence that it was not constitutionally passed, because it is a law making an appropriation of public money. Const. art. VIII, sec. 8.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“* * * The requirement which is absolutely essential is that the governor shall approve the same law which the legislature has passed. This is the fact which makes a law, and want of it makes mere waste paper.”
