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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““7. The Court is without jurisdiction to consider the defendant’s counterclaim herein against King Solomon Jones in that: [a] the United States is the real party plaintiff and has not consented to any counterclaim or set-off in actions brought under Section 16 [c] of the Act; [b] the counterclaim is a permissive counterclaim lacking independent grounds of Federal jurisdiction ; and [c] the counterclaim does not state a claim against an opposing party as required by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.””
