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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute declares: ‘Upon the filing of said declaration of taking and the deposit in the court, to the use of the persons entitled thereto, of the amount of the estimated compensation stated in said declaration, title to the said lands * * * shall vest in the United States of America * * * and the right to just compensation for the same shall vest in the persons entitled thereto.’ It does not matter whether the court makes any order about it or not. The Act proceeds to say: ‘and said compensation shall be ascertained and awarded in said proceeding and established by judgment therein.’ That is the real and substantial function of the court. That judgment is the essential and final one.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The court does not award the right of possession nor adjudge the title. * * * The law gives the right of possession, apparently without the necessity of any court order, though it is orderly and decent to get one.””
