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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Let this be' admitted, even then the injunction is not justified, for to the extent that the subject-matter of the suit in the state court was already settled by former adjudication, the defense should have been by plea in the court where the suit was brought, and not by injunction in another jurisdic tion. No possession of the res was involved, and no conflict of courts could have followed, that would have affected the decree in the United States court.””
