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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth, proscribes unreasonable searches and seizures and forbids that warrants issue without ‘particularly describing the place to be searched, and . . . things to be seized.’ ‘General searches’, reminiscent of those conducted under the despised writs of assistance in pre-Revolutionary days, ‘have long been deemed to violate fundamental rights. It is plain that the amendment forbids them.’ Marron v. United States, 275 U.S. 192 . . . (1927).””
