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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not disputed that if the stipulations of the treaty and the requirements of the act of congress are found to he irreconcilably conflicting, it is the duty of the court to obey the law, as being the latest expression of the legislative will, and to leave the question of the breach of the treaty stipulation to be settled by the political branch of the government. But, before we can impute to congress an intention to violate an important article of a treaty with a foreign power, that intention must be clearly and unequivocally manifested.””
