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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We see no reason to fear any weakening of the protection of the constitutional provision as to commerce among the several states by holding that in regard to such a.message as the one in question, although it comes from a place without the state, it is yet under the- jurisdiction of the state where it is to be delivered (after its arrival therein at the place of delivery), at least so far as legislation of the state tends to enforce the performance of the duty owed by the company under the general law. So long as Congress is silent on the subject,' we think it is within the power of the state government to enact legislation of the nature of the Georgia statute. It is not a case where .the silence of Congress is equivalent to an express enactment””

1 later decision quote this exact passage“`Since the establishment of our government wagering has been held to be, if not absolutely immoral, yet so injurious in its results as to require suppression by penal legislation.'”
