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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“task is limited to a determination of whether the Secretary's decision is supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The ALJ also noted the significant difference between the appellant’s account of his daily activities given at the first hearing in 1987, and the recitation given at the hearing in 1990.. In 1987, appellant testified that in 1979 he could walk two blocks to a coffee shop, drink coffee for 10 or 15 minutes, then walk home. He also stated that he did the cooking, housework, and laundry in about 10 to 15 minute increments. He stated that he could stand for up to two hours and sit for an hour at a time. In 1990, the appellant testified that he was limited to fixing breakfast and occasionally helping with dinner, driving his wife to and from work, reading, watching television, and lying down. He stated that he could stand for no more than an hour, and sit for no more .than 80 minutes. We conclude that the ALJ’s decision to discredit McClees’s subjective complaints of pain and functional restrictions under Polaski is supported by substantial evidence.”
