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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“would have been wholly speculative and was not required”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[Tjhis portion of Section 27 “does not require that the violative act or acts form the core of the claim. All that is required is but one act within the forum district which represents more than an immaterial part of the allegedly illegal events.” Moreover, we have heretofore held the act committed in the forum district “need not itself constitute a violation of the Act in order to establish venue.” The question, rather, is whether the act upon which venue is predicated is “an integral part of” or “of material importance to” the commission of the violation.”
