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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A literal interpretation of Rule 12(b) tends toward a finding that a counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim waives jurisdictional defenses, since those claims are not "defenses or objections" and, therefore, not within the scope of that part of Rule 12(b) previously quoted. Furthermore, a party, when he counterclaims, cross-claims, or impleads a third party, is seeking affirmative relief and is thereby invoking the jurisdiction of the court. He cannot at the same time deny that jurisdiction.”
