How to use jurist in a sentence?

1. Ilhan Omar:

   Let me be clear, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a corrupt jurist and should have no place on our highest court, clarence Thomas for the past three decades worked in tandem with his wife from the bench, to decide cases that were in lockstep with his wife's political pursuits.

2. Ted Cruz:

   If he came and said, ‘I’m gonna put the best jurist on the court' and he looked at a number of people and he ended up nominating a Black woman, he could credibly say, ‘OK, I’m nominating the person who’s most qualified,' he’s not even pretending to say that. He’s saying ‘If you’re a White guy, tough luck. If you’re a White woman, tough luck. You don’t qualify.'.

3. Stuart Grant:

   Leo Strine as chief justice has had more influence in a short time on the Supreme Court than probably any chief justice in Delaware, maybe any jurist for the amount of time he has spent on the court.

4. President Barack Obama for appointment:

   In the meantime, the American people are going to have the ability to gauge whether the person I've nominated is well within the mainstream, is a good jurist, is somebody who's worthy to sit on the Supreme Court, i think it will be very difficult for Mr. McConnell to explain how, if the public concludes that this person's very well qualified, that the Senate should stand in the way simply for political reasons.

5. William Burck:

   As a Republican, I hope Judge Jackson will garner substantial bipartisan support because she deserves to be judged on her personal merits which overwhelmingly weigh in favor of confirmation, too often over the past several decades, Bidens Supreme Court nominations have descended into bitter partisan conflict and White House surrogates lose sight of the most important qualities in a jurist.
