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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As this amendment did not affect substantive rights, but related only to the procedural machinery provided to enforce such rights, it applied to pending as well as to future suits. See 50 American Jurisprudence, page 505, Section 482. A suit in process of appeal (as this one was on June 20, 1944) is a pending suit. Bowles v. Hasting, 5 Cir., 146 F.2d 94 . The necessary effect of the amendment was to authorize the prosecution of future suits under Section 205(e), and to ratify and approve the prosecution of pending suits, brought without the prior authorization of the Secretary. It is now settled that Congress has such remedial power. Charlotte Harbor & N. R. Co. v. Welles, 260 U.S. 8 , 43 S.Ct. 3 , 67 L.Ed. 100 ; Graham et al. v. Goodcell, 282 U.S. 409 , 51 S.Ct. 186 , 75 L.Ed. 415 ; Downs v. Blount, 5 Cir., 170 F. 15 , 31 L.R.A.,N.S., 1076. The judgment ap pealed from must, therefore, be reversed and the cause remanded.” ( 151 F.2d 420 )”
