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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Besides, tiie case having been brought here, the question upon the motion to remand is not whether there are any irregularities in the proceedings for removal, but whether on the face of the record it satisfactorily appears that the action does not involve a controversy within the jurisdiction of this court. That there is such a controversy in this case is too plain for argument; and therefore the right of the petitioners to have this cause remain within the jurisdiction of this tribunal for trial is clear beyond cavil or doubt.””
