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 197 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This challenge would unquestionably be well founded if today’s decision in Chimel v. California, ante, [395 U.S.] p. 752 [ 89 S.Ct. 2034 , 23 L.Ed.2d 685 ], were given retroactive application. But we need not decide here whether Chimel should be applied retroactively.”
