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 906 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“One may obviously possess without selling; and one may sell and cause to be delivered a thing of which he has never had possession; or one may have possession and later sell, as appears to have been done in this case.”
19 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““ * * * A bench warrant issued, and the marshal executed it by arresting the defendants. When they were brought into court, each gave bond to appear and answer, was released from custody immediately, and was not thereafter in custody by virtue of the warrant or otherwise. At the time of giving the bonds, no objection was made to either the jurisdiction or the service by execution of the warrant, and nothing was done then indicating an intention to enter a special appearance. * * * “The bail bonds bound the defendants to ‘be and appear’ in court ‘from day to day’ and ‘to answer and stand trial upon the information herein and to stand by and abide the orders and judgment of the court in the premises.’ It is urged there was a waiver by giving the bail bonds without making any objection. We are of the opinion that the failure to take the objection at that time did not waive the invalidity of the warrant or operate as a general appearance.” 273 U.S. at pages 4 and 9, 47 S.Ct. at pages 251 and 253.”
