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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Contrary to plaintiffs assertion that personal jurisdiction over alleged co-conspirators may be acquired vicariously through the forum-related conduct of any single conspirator, the Court believes that personal jurisdiction over any nonresident individual must be premised upon forum-related acts personally committed by the individual. Imputed conduct is a connection too tenuous to warrant the exercise of personal jurisdiction. The Supreme Court has labelled “frivolous albeit ingenious” ... the theory of vicarious venue for alleged conspirators. That much more frivolous is the contention that personal jurisdiction, the exercise of which is governed by strict constitutional standards, may depend upon the imputed conduct of a co-conspirator.”

The Court finds it inconceivable that Congress would so substantially broaden the venue provision applicable to every individual once employed by the federal government without comment. Kipperman v. McCone, supra, at 877.”
