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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The Oklahoma court had jurisdiction of the parties and of the subject matter and, having jurisdiction, its decree whether right or wrong, is valid and binding and is res adjudicata until set aside by proper proceedings. Swift v. Jackson, 10 Cir., 37 F. 237 ; Gordon v. Ware Nat. Bank, 8 Cir., 132 F. 444, 449 , 67 L.R.A. 550 . The fact that Lusanna Brink was a full blood Creek Indian does not alter the situation. Under section 6, art. 2, of the Constitution of Oklahoma, Lusanna Brink was authorized to sue in the district court of Creek County to establish her interest in such allotment. When she availed herself of that privilege and submitted herself and her cause to the jurisdiction of that court, she became bound by the decree entered therein the same as any other person.””
