Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Moore held that a state law interspousal immunity did not preclude the government from maintaining a suit. The court reasoned that the immunity was merely a disability attached to the right to sue and did not destroy the defendant’s tort liability. The underlying cause of action was based on common law negligence and not on a statute which created a restricted right of recovery.” 529 F.2d at 676 .”
