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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An approach consistent with the general principle, but which leads to the same result in this case as the approach in Costain would, makes the question of what state a corporation is a citizen of if its corporate charter has been revoked depend on the status of such an entity under the law of the state that granted (and later revoked) the charter. Most states sensibly permit a corporation whose charter has been revoked to continue nevertheless to operate as a corporation, specifically for purposes of suing and being sued, until it is actually dissolved. ... Oklahoma, the state of incorporation of the defendant in question (Subscription Plus), is one of those states. And, for icing on the cake, Oklahoma also has a statute making reinstatement of a corporation’s charter retroactive. We conclude that the revocation of Subscription Plus's corporate charter did not affect its status for diversity purposes.”
