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.
““Under the plain intent of the statute the plaintiff must be able to show that he has some right with respect to the subject of the action that is being or is about to be violated before he is entitled to an injunction, and in the absence of such showing the court is without authority to grant such relief.””
