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 246 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It seems to us hypertechnical to say that the appeal papers did not bring the sole issue of the case fairly before the Court of Appeals____ [T]he assignments of error framed in the appeal attacked the basis of the first order as well as the second.
