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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“. . . Mr. Justice Frankfurter unequivocally recognized [in Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257 , 80 S.Ct. 725 , 4 L.Ed.2d 697 (1960)] that the exclusionary rule incident to the prohibitions of the Fourth Amendment is `a means for making effective the protection of privacy'; that to come within the exclusionary rule one must belong to `the class for whose sake the constitutional provision is given'; and that to come within the class, he must be the victim of the search in the sense that his right of privacy was invaded. . . .”
