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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * here the practice was to annually terminate the existing five-year lease one year in futuro, and then enter into another five-year lease as of that date, thus staying within the letter of the Congressional mantle. Literally, this may be so, but in spirit, purpose and fact, I would side with a Bureau decision in 69 I.D. 203: ‘Executory lease agreements with competent Crow Indians which purport to cancel existing leases between the same parties as of a date one year or eighteen months in the future and to take effect as five-year leases at the future date violate ( 62 Stat. 80 , supra) and are void.’ Such a conclusion is consistent with the spirit of United States v. Noble, 237 U.S. 74 [ 35 S.Ct. 532 , 59 L.Ed. 844 ]” Iron v. Knowles, 234 F.Supp. 327, 332 (D.Mont.1964).”
