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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The jurisdiction of this court ought not to be ousted upon the mere suggestion of constitutional issues not reasonably presented on the face of the record. We must examine the record and determine whether such issue is substantially reviewable before we transfer the cause. Otherwise parties could play shuttlecock with cases between the two jurisdictions, to the undue annoyance of litigants, and the unnecessary delay of justice.””
