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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The entire record, both facts and inferences that can be drawn from these facts, is to be considered. To reverse the Secretary’s decision, it is not enough that this court find that a decision to the contrary would also be reasonable, rather this court must come to the conclusion that the decision below was not rational.””
