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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The commissioner’s proceedings are quasi judicial in character. Go-Bart Importing Co. v. United States, 282 U.S. 344 , 354, 51 S.Ct. 153 , 75 L.Ed. 374 . The issue before him is not guilt or innocence but probable cause for the arrest of the person charged. After the commissioner has issued his order for the arrest and commitment of the person complained of, the proceeding before him is ended and his jurisdiction exhausted.” [Emphasis supplied.]”
