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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

3. “Taking [the Chaves Court's] analysis out of [the section 1983] context and applying it as the rule for when a defendant may properly invoke the Fifth Amendment's privilege, as the Parole Board seeks to do, would have far greater (and worse) implications. In fact, it would effectively vitiate the Fifth Amendment privilege entirely because a defendant could not claim the protection of the Fifth Amendment-only, later, a violation of the Fifth Amendment,. He or she could not refuse to answer a question because the response would be self-incriminating; a defendant could only later seek to have that response exeluded in Court and a violation would only occur if the trial court refused that request. This is contrary to the greater wealth of U.S, Supreme Court case law on the subject.”
