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 59 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]here a suit is brought against an officer or agency with relation to some matter in which defendant represents the state in action and liability, and the state, while not a party to the record, is the real party against which relief is sought so that a judgment for plaintiff, although nominally against the named defendant as an individual or entity distinct from the state, will operate to control the action of the state or subject it to liability, the suit is in effect one against the state and cannot be maintained without its consent.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage““Where upon a hearing in a circuit or chancery court or by a judge thereof in vacation, an injunction is granted, continued, modified, refused., or dissolved by an interlocutory decree, or an application to dissolve or modify an injunction is refused ... an appeal may be taken from such interlocutory order or decree. The transcript shall be filed with the clerk of the Supreme Court within thirty (30) days from the entry of such order or decree, and the appeal shall take precedence in the Supreme Court.” (Our emphasis).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Palmer v. Evans“It follows from what has been said above that all agreements whose object or tendency is in any way to interfere with, or unduly influence, legislative action, either by congress, by a state legislature, or by a municipal council or other like body, are contrary to public policy and void.”
