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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

If not, the "decisive question" before the trial judge in a Batson analysis becomes "whether counsel's race-neutral explanation for a peremptory challenge should be believed," and, "once that has been settled, there seems nothing left to review."”
