How to use indefensible in a sentence?

1. California Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher:

   The government’s continued allocation of resources and controls with the intent of trying to prevent the adult use of marijuana has been counterproductive and an indefensible limitation of people’s right to control their own lives, the Obama administration has had the chance to correct a foolish and counterproductive policy. Now it’s up to the Congress and the next administration.

2. Ben Crump:

   How ironic and typical that the only charges brought in this case were for shots fired into the apartment of a white neighbor, while no charges were brought for the shots fired into the Black neighbor's apartment or into Breonna's residence, this amounts to the most egregious disrespect of Black people, especially Black women, killed by police in America, and it's indefensible, regardless of how Attorney General Daniel Cameron seeks to justify it.

3. David Wilezol:

   And except for a couple passing references to China, which are not nearly enough, this speech was lacking in addressing other national security matters, that’s not surprising, given the disaster the Biden administration created on our southern border and the rude awakening that awaits Americans if the administration successfully re-enters the indefensible Iran nuclear deal.

4. Jimmy Kimmel:

   While our leaders on the right — the Americans in Congress and at Fox News and these other outlets — warn us not to politicize this. They immediately criticize our President for even speaking about doing something to stop it, because they don't want to speak about it. Because they know what they've done and they know what they haven't done, and they know that it's indefensible. So they'd rather sweep this under the rug.

5. Kevin Faulconer:

   Gavin Newsom is afraid to answer for his failed record. He allowed crime and homelessness to skyrocket, he shut down schools for an entire year, and he slashed wildfire prevention funding. I’m not afraid to stand on my record and answer tough questions from voters and the media, but Newsom refuses to take accountability for his indefensible actions. We must recall him.
