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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[c]ivil contempt can serve two purposes,” either coercing compliance with an order or “compensat[ing] a party who has suffered unnecessary injuries or costs because of contemptuous conduct.” .. Like criminal contempt, remedial civil contempt is backward-looking. But remedial contempt is civil, because it remedies the consequences of defiant conduct on an. opposing party, rather than punishing the defiance per se. It ... does not require the special safeguards that accompany criminal contempt proceedings, such as establishment of mens rea and proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”
