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.

““But the weakness of the position of this respondent upon the question he presents is that he allowed evidence that he refused to take such tests, as well as the evidence on the nature of the tests that were offered him, to come into the case without objection. ...
