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

““It is of course the task of the government attorneys to ensure that the witness is not given an immunity broader than is necessary and expedient to advance the important objectives of the grand jury’s investigation.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority
e.g. In re Grumbles · State v. Kenny
“The immunity conferred by the statute involved here, like that in Brown v. U. S., supra, is the automatic statutory consequence of compulsory testimony. The immunity is as extensive as the testimony. The contention is groundless that the immunity conferred is limited to proceedings based upon or growing out of the Communications Act. As stated in Brown, the reference to that Act `limits only the class of witnesses to whom the immunity will attach, not the scope of the immunity conferred.' 359 U.S. at 47, 79 S.Ct. at 544, 545, 3 L.Ed.2d 609. 27”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority
e.g. Giancana v. United States · In the Matter of Patricia Grumbles and Donald Bruce Grumbles
““Appellant’s position is utterly without merit. It is elementary that a grand jury is an arm of the court, and that refusal to comply with an order of court directing a witness to answer proper questions before the grand jury is a contempt of court.” 310 F.2d at 146”
