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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statutes relative to the condemnation of land in the District of Columbia are evolutions of several prior acts of Congress. Until 1929, the same procedure was provided for both the United States and the District of Columbia * * * The Act of August 30, 1890, 26 Stat. 412 , 413, § 3, 40 U.S.C.A. § 120 , set out the procedure for the taking by condemnation of private property in the District of Columbia * * *. On March 1, 1929, Congress changed the method or procedure in condemnation cases in the District of Columbia. Different methods were provided for the United States ( 45 Stat. 1415 , c. 416 [now D.C.Code, Title 16, §§ 619-644]) and for the District of Columbia ( 45 Stat. 1437 , c. 439 [now D.C.Code, Title 16, §§ 601-604]).””
