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.

“Generally speaking, the issue is not that of good jurors versus bad jurors or adequate jurors versus inadequate jurors. It is rather the wily maneuvering of two skilled chess players to obtain a slight edge, a barely discernible “tilt” as they mold a jury.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent““As in any equal protection case, ‘the burden is, of course/ on the defendant who alleges discriminatory selection of the venire ‘to prove the existence of purposeful discrimination.’ ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“the defendant must first show that he is a member of a cognizable racial group, ... and that the prosecutor has exercised peremptory challenges to remove from the venire members of the defendant’s race. Second, the defendant is entitled to rely on the fact, as to which there can be no dispute, that peremptory challenges constitute a jury selection practice that permits “those to discriminate who are of the mind to discriminate” ... Finally, the defendant must show that these facts and any other relevant circumstances raise an inference that the prosecutor used that practice to exclude the veniremen from the petit jury on account of their race. This combination of factors in the impaneling of petit jury, as in the selection of the venire, raises the necessary inference of the purposeful discrimination.”
