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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

He is in a certain sense ever present in court to answer such demands, and all that is necessary is a simple motion for a rule on him to show cause against the order that is required, and petitions for that purpose are wholly unnecessary.””
