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

1. “On page 2 of the bill you will find section 6001 [identical to what is now codified at 18 U.S.C. Sec. 6002]. That section would provide that when a witness refuses on the basis of his privilege against self-incrimination to testify or to provide other information, and the witness is presented with an order of the court compelling his testimony, and granting him immunity from the use of such testimony and its fruits, then the witness must testify under pain of contempt of court.”
