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.
“[i]n view of the applicable statutes and authority, it is clear that [Razor’s] privilege against compelled self-incrimination was not violated by the sexual offender treatment program’s requirement that he admit his guilt. Qn the contrary, even though the requirement was accompanied by a threat of possible probation revocation, any incriminating admissions made by [Razor] could not have been used as a basis for criminal charges against him.”
