Examples of meritless in a Sentence

  1. Lance Armstrong:

    While I believe that their lawsuit against me was meritless and unfair, and while I am spending a lot of money to resolve it, I have since 2013 tried to take full responsibility for my mistakes and inappropriate conduct, and make amends wherever possible, i rode my heart out for the Postal cycling team, and was always especially proud to wear the red, white and blue eagle on my chest when competing in the Tour de France. Those memories are very real and mean a lot to me.

United Against Nuclear Iran is a bi-partisan not-for-profit policy and advocacy organization that will not be silenced by intimidation or threat, through economic and social means and through the exercise of their First Amendment rights, the officers and staff of UANI have acted courageously and patriotically in their efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

  5. Ron Coleman:

    Luckily, the First Amendment is one value [the university] will have to reckon with. The U.S. Supreme Court has never been more jealous of the rights it protects than it has in recent years. But the University's willingness to invest in setting themselves up for an obviously meritless defense against these claims is chilling indeed.
