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.
“These limitations reflect a careful tailoring of the [deliberative process] privilege to achieve its purpose of protecting confidentiality without unduly inhibiting the truth-finding process of litigation.... [W]e therefore reject the ... assumption that a privilege protects all state legislative documents which may somehow reveal the “thought processes” of state legislators. Confidentiality concerns do not sweep so broadly; If a deliberative process privilege does protect state legislators, it is limited to communications involving opinions, recommendations or advice about legislative decisions.... [S]everable factual material cannot be privileged.”
