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.
“Although the rule announced in Crawford also impacts the accuracy of criminal convictions, it does not qualify as a `watershed' rule in the mold of Gideon. Crawford merely altered the existing regime outlined by White, 502 U.S. at 355-56, 112 S. Ct. at 742-43, and Roberts, 448 U.S. at 65 , 100 S. Ct. at 2539 .”
