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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[M]any asylum claims ... depend on whether the statements made by an alien in support of the asylum application are accepted as credible. When the agency’s final decision rests on the ground that the alien was not credible, then, we see whether the determination of non-credibility is conclusive of [her] claim. If the adverse credibility determination is supported by substantial evidence — that is, if we cannot say a finding that the alien is credible is compelled — then the decision must be affirmed. There may be times when, in performing our judicial review function, we are impaired because the agency does not explain the adverse credibility finding. That situation does not arise when the IJ gives specific reasons for the determination, which are in turn supported by substantial evidence.”
