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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whereas, Oharlie Thomas, guardian of Peter Foster Thomas, incompetent, an allot-tee of the Choctaw Nations, has made application for the removal of restrictions from the following described lands, to wit (description of lands) : “Now, therefore, I, under the authority vested in me by the Act of Congress approved May 27, 1908 (Public No. 140) and the regulations prescribed thereunder, hereby remove the restrictions from said above-described land, such removal of restrictions to become effective only and simultaneously with the execution of deed by said allottee to the purchaser after said land has been sold in compliance with the directions of the Secretary of the Interior.””
