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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That appeals shall lie from all final judgments or decrees of said court to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and thence appeals and writs of error may be taken from the judgments or decrees of the said Circuit Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States in the same class of cases as those in which appeals and writs of error are permitted to judgments of said Court of Appeals in cases coming from District and Circuit Courts of the United States. Said appeals or writs of error shall be regulated by the procedure governing appeals within the United States from the District Courts to the Circuit Courts of Appeal, and from the Circuit Courts of Appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, respectively, so far as the same shall be applicable; and said courts are hereby empowered to hear and determine appeals and writs of error so taken.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““It is apparent upon a reading of this section that it was the intention of Congress to recognize the distinction between cases at law and cases in equity and admiralty, and to provide that the mode of procedure by which the appellate jurisdiction of this court may be invoked shall conform in all respects to the statutes and rules of court governing appeals and writs of error from district and circuit courts. The statute is not unlike the statute which was construed in Chase v. United States, 155 U. S. 489 , 15 Sup. Ct. 174 , 39 L. Ed. 234 . The case could have been brought only to this court upon writ of error.””
