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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The question whether jurors are impartial in the constitutional sense is one of mixed law and fact as to which the challenger has the burden of persuasion, for: ‘Unless he shows the actual existence of such an opinion in the mind of the juror as will raise the presumption of partiality, the juror need not necessarily be set aside. * * * ’ Reynolds v. United States, 1878, 98 U.S. 145 , 157, 25 L.Ed. 244 , quoted with approval in Irvin v. Dowd, [ 366 U.S. 717 , 81 S.Ct. 1639 , 6 L.Ed.2d 751 ], supra. And, to decide whether the challenger has sustained his burden, it is the duty of this court as stated in the case last cited ‘to independently evaluate the voir dire testimony of the impaneled jurors.’ ””
