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.
““To bring a case within the statute the right created by the laws of the United States must be an essential element of plaintiff’s cause of action. The right must be such that it will be supported if the laws of the United States are given one construction or effect, and defeated if they .receive another-. But a genuine and present controversy, not merely a possible or conjectural one, must exist with reference thereto.””
