Examples of uphill in a Sentence

1. Steven Hawkins:

   I agree that it's an uphill slog to see federal legalization, but what we're putting on the table is inevitability, when you get to the point when half of the country has legalized for adult-use, we have now set a stage for inevitability. And that begins to change the tone and tenor in Washington.

2. Adam Zimmerman:

   In light of the Bates decision, it's going to be an uphill battle for the company to win on preemption on appeal.

3. Gummi Olafsson:

   Your muscles are always getting bigger, so you get more control over it. So everyday if you are using it, you're always getting more and more control over what you're doing with your foot, so in a way, everyday you're learning more about how to walk properly with the foot, how to use it to go downhill, uphill, downstairs, upstairs, even sitting down and standing up from a chair.

4. Alden Abbott:

   I think it's safe to say it's an uphill climb, but as lawyers normally do, belt and suspenders approach, when in a suit against a public official or any lawsuit for tort, which is basically what this seems to be, you're going to put down any defense that you think might be successful, immunity is only one out of many, and I suspect they're going to put a lot more on the First Amendment and the lack of being able to prove incitement. ... So if (immunity) were the only defense it would be an uphill defense, but it's only one of many responses.

5. Steve Vladeck:

   The result is not especially surprising given the uphill battle The Federal Government faced in defending such a content - based speech restriction. But the implications of the Court's decision to save the rest of the statute are potentially quite significant, how courts should treat the rest of a statute when one provision is unconstitutional is at the heart of the major Obamacare challenge the Justices are set to hear next fall.
