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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As long as he acts within the provisions of the statute [the Insurance Commissioner] is, for all purposes, the state * * * and a suit against him may not be maintained in the federal courts because prohibited by the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
