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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In- addition, it is this Court’s impression that the action taken by the defendants was in accordance with the applicable local law as now written; and, did not of itself amount to a failure to give equal protection to all persons or races. * * * Only the construction of the Oklahoma law, and not the constitutionality of the statutes is raised in this suit. “The instant case should be dismissed. Plaintiffs must prosecute their cause of action in the proper state forum.””
