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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The act (Judicial Code, § 28 (Comp.St. § 1010) ) is obscurely worded and has given rise to many difficult questions. Without undertaking to discuss the numerous decisions, certain basic principles, to be applied where the sole ground of jurisdiction is diversity of citizenship, are now, as it seems to me, pretty clearly established. A defendant, sued in the courts of his ■own state, may not remove to the federal courts. Martin v. Snyder, 148 U.S. 663 , 13 S.Ct. 706 , 37 L.Ed. 602 . A defendant, sued alone in the state courts of a state where he is not a citizen, may remove.” (Emphasis supplied.)”
