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 102 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It appears from the record that the citizenship of the parties at the commencement of the actions as well as at the time the petitions for removal were filed was not sufficiently shown, and that, therefore, the jurisdiction of the state court was never divested. This being so, the defect cannot be cured by amendment.””
5 later decisions quote this exact passage““That where a suit is entered upon the docket of a circuit court as removed on the ground of the diverse citizenship of the parties, and was never in law removed, no amendment of the record made in the circuit court can affect the jurisdiction of the state court, or put the case rightfully on the docket of the circuit court as of the date when it was so docketed.””
