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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the absence of a separable controversy it is necessary to removal that all the defendants properly included by the plaintiff in the action join in the petition for removal and be lawfully entitled to remove. And by the same reasoning and upon the same principles, if there be a separable controversy all the defendants properly involved in that controversy must petition for, and be qualified to seek, removal.” (Citing cases.)”
