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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While this court is not required to recognize the judgment of another state where the judgment ... has been obtained by extrinsic fraud, this rule is subject to the limitation that if the court of the state which rendered the judgment has expressly litigated the ... matter of fraud, that determination becomes res judicata on those points and is itself protected by the full faith and credit clause of the Constitu-tion_ The ... fraud questions cannot be relitigated a second time in another state.””
