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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If, as argued, Judge Jones was npt in fact a judge at the time and ¡place,, that proposition could only be raised or sustained in a direct proceeding against, Judge Jones in which he is a party. Here, the objection was made to Judge Jones himself. Judge Jones was called upon to decide whether or not he was a, qualified judge. This was a question only a judge could answer. The rule-is that to determine the competency of the judge to act in a given case, the party, objecting must bring an action in which, the judge himself is a party. The question cannot be determined in a proceeding before the judge being questioned, or on appeal. * *. * ””
