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 1,193 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]part from trials conducted in violation of express constitutional mandates, a constitutionally unfair trial takes place only where the barriers and safeguards are so relaxed or forgotten, as in Moore v. Dempsey, supra [ 261 U.S. 86 [, 43 S.Ct. 265 , 67 L.Ed. 543 ] (1923) ], that the proceeding is more a spectacle (Rideau v. Louisiana, 373 U.S. 723 , 726 [, 83 S.Ct. 1417 , 10 L.Ed.2d 663 ]) or trial by ordeal (Brown v. Mississippi, 297 U.S. 278 , 285 [, 56 S.Ct. 461 , 464, 80 L.Ed. 682 ]) than a disciplined contest. [Id, 393 U.S. at 356 , 89 S.Ct. at 534 .]”
