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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The right to remove, under the statute, depends upon whether the suit could originally have been brought in the Circuit Court of the United States. Traction Company v. Mining Company, 196 U. S. 239 , 245 [ 25 Sup. Ct. 251 , 49 L. Ed. 462 ]; Cochran, etc., v. Montgomery County, 199 U. S. 260 , 26 Sup. Ct. 58 , 50 L. Ed. 182 , 4 Ann. Cas. 451. The question then is whether the United States Circuit Court for the proper district (Northern District of Texas) would have had jurisdiction of a suit commenced in that district by the plaintiffs against the railway company and the two individual defendants.””
