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

1. ““Apart from the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment, however, the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, standing alone, imposes some limitations on a state’s power to prosecute an individual who has previously been prosecuted for the same offense. Thus in Bartkus [Bartkus v. People of State of Illinois], [ 359 U.S. 121 ] at page 127, 79 S.Ct. 676 [ 3 L.Ed.2d 684 ], the Supreme Court interpreted Palko [Palko v. State of Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319 , 58 S.Ct. 149 , 82 L.Ed. 288 ] as holding that at some point the cruel harassment of multiple prosecutions by a state would offend due process.””
