2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The standard [of review] does not change merely because the final decision rejects the ALJ's determinations. The decision for court review is that of the agency.... The court does not review the ALJ's decision which is merely part of the record. 82 But the court must take into account the 'whole record.' Because the ALJ's factual findings are part of the record, contrary agency findings are given less weight than they would otherwise receive.”
