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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * * * * The United States agrees to issue patents to all persons entitled to selections under this treaty, as follows, viz: To those belonging to the class denominated `competents,' patents shall be issued in fee simple, but to those belonging to the class of `those not so competent,' the patent shall contain a provision that the land shall never be sold or alienated to any person or persons whomsoever, without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior for the time being.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“it [the United States] prohibits the alienation of the land conveyed to that class [of not so competents] in severalty; and having done so, it has a right to insist that such alienation shall not be brought about by the execution of state tax laws.”
