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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Under our practice a new decree is not entered in the Supreme Court upon affirmance, but that of the court below confirmed, with a judgment for costs added. As the cause was not remanded for any purpose, the district court did not acquire jurisdiction to retry any of the issues subsequent to appeal. The suit having been terminated, the clerk could not revive or open it again by issuing a procedendo. The only purpose for that process in such a case is to notify the district court that it is at liberty to enforce its decree.””
