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.

“a plea bargain is 'a mere executory agreement which, until embodied in the judgment of a court, does not deprive an accused of liberty or any other constitutionally protected interest'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“`A grant of immunity is different from a plea bargain in that it can never be formalized by a plea of guilty.'”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A plea bargain standing alone is without constitutional significance; in itself it is a mere executory agreement which, until embodied in the judgment of a court, does not deprive an accused of liberty or any other constitutionally protected interest. It is the ensuing guilty plea that implicates the Constitution. Only after [the defendant] pleaded guilty was he convicted, and it is that conviction which gave rise to the deprivation of [the defendant’s] liberty at issue here. [Mabry, 467 U.S.] at 507-08, 104 S.Ct. [at 2546] (footnotes omitted).”
