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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is to be assumed that no refusal to sit proceeds on other than a determination of the judge that he is incompetent to do so; and to hold that mandamus will not lie where there has been such determination would be to destroy the efficacy of this summary remedy as a means of compelling recusant judges to discharge their judicial functions. The doctrine would be especially pernicious in cases like the present one, where recusation is at the objection of a party, and on the ground of interest; since it would be natural for a conscientious and sensitive judge to resolve all doubts on the question against his competency to try the cause.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It can never rest in the discretion of a judge whether he shall sit in a given case. If he is not disqualified under the Constitution, it is his duty to sit — á duty he cannot delegate or repudiate, and which no consent can devolve upon another.””
