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 93 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A motion, to set aside a judgment is a direct, and not a collateral, attack on such judgment; . . . “It is said a court whose process is abused by an attempt to enforce a void judgment will interfere, for its own dignity, and for the protection of its officers, to arrest further action. (Mills v. Dickson, 6 Rich. 487 .) “The most effectual method of doing this is by extirpating the judgment itself — by removing a form which is without substance.” (pp. 403, 405.)”
