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.
“Section 75(s) of the Bankruptcy Act itself provides a direct and orderly means by which the court can prevent any such flaunting — the simple expedient of issuing a stay against the lienor’s sale.
