How to use asserting in a sentence?

  1. Ketanji Brown Jackson:

    I would expect if you were right a provision in the statute that addresses this very situation, when the incumbent president says, 'Executive privilege is waived, I'm allowing these documents to go out,' and the former president says, 'No, no, I have executive privilege and I'm asserting it,' then the former president gets to come to court and… the court will decide – and here are the standards.

  2. Bill Carstanjen:

Baffert’s record of testing failures threatens public confidence in thoroughbred racing and the reputation of the Kentucky Derby. Given these repeated failures over the last year, including the increasingly extraordinary explanations, we firmly believe that asserting our rights to impose these measures is our duty and responsibility.

  3. Marc Short:

  4. Evan Hollander:

    The President's authority in this area is intended for wars and genuine national emergencies, asserting this authority to build a wasteful wall is legally dubious and would likely invite a court challenge.

  5. Brian Katulis:

    This letter is signed by those who remain in the internationalist wing of the party – many were former advisors to candidates who lost the primary fight to Donald Trump, calling Trump unqualified to be commander in chief is tough, but also asserting that Donald Trump’s lacking in character and understanding of our basic values is really pretty amazing.
