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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“•‘The receipts named in class 2 are confined to that part of the transportation from Afauch Chuuk to Phillipsburg, and the taxation to the mileage wholly within the state of Pennsylvania; and the question i§ whether this taxation in respect of such receipts from freight and passengers earned by continuous transportation to Philadelphia from Mauch Chunk by way of Trenton, N. X, amounts to a regulation of interstate commerce.” 145 U. S. 200 , 12 Sup. Ct. 807 , 36 L. Ed. 674 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““It should be remembered that the question does not arise as to the power of any other state than the state of the termini, nor 'as to taxation upon the property of the company situated elsewhere than in Pennsylvania, nor as to the regulation by Pennsylvania of the operations of this or any other company elsewhere; but it is simply whether, in the carriage of freight and passengers between two points in one state, the mere passage over the soil of another state renders that business foreign which is domestic.” Page 202, 145 U. S., page 808, 12 Sup. Ct., and page 675, 36 L. Ed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““The tax under consideration here was determined in respect' of receipts for the proportion of the transportation within the state; but the contention is that this could not be done because the transportation was an entire thing, and in its course passed through another state than that of the origin and destination of the particular freight and passengers.” Page 201, 145 U. S., page 808, 12 Sup. Ct., and page 675, 36 L. Ed.”
