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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Our statement in Garrett does not mean in every Social Security disability hearing the administrative judge must call as a witness a vocational counselor.

(Emphasis theirs.)”
