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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(b) Upon the issuance of the order such witness shall not be excused from testifying ... on the ground that the testimony . . . required of him may tend to incriminate him .... No such witness may be prosecuted ... on account of any transaction, matter or thing concerning which he is compelled to testify . . . and no testimony ... so compelled . . . may be used as evidence against him in any proceeding, except that no witness shall be immune from prosecution for perjury or contempt committed while giving such testimony or producing such evidence. . . .””
