How do you say “kangaroo court” in Spanish?
Circus, yes, but with ample grounds for appeal. If, of course, the defendant can afford it. /S
(Pimpin’ ain’t easy; Justice ain’t free).
Kangaroo-o el courto! ;)
Judge is guaranteeing that the verdict from this case is overturned in appeals process.

Bingo!
Remember? The 9th Circus?
Si!
la Corte del canguro
Perfect. Clear grounds for overturn on appeal.
I hope you are right.
OF COURSE they will win on appeal.
That is not THE POINT of all this.
The point is to screw them over for as long as possible and drain all their resources.
The land in question AND its mineral content was promised to the CHINEESE years ago and they are determined to get it.
AND WHERE THE HELL IS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION????????
It is a kangaroo court. Just like I have heard said about income tax cases. Not much different than what I had heard said about the Waco trial(s), where the defendants were acquitted of murder by the Jury, so the judge slapped the defendants with massive sentences for weapons violations, either.
We could and should be devoting our full attention to fixing our own government. We’ll not be able to do that too easily so long as probably more than half the population can’t even find Iran on a map, and with the traditional family under assault. The solution starts with turning to God, and away from ANY anti-Christian institutions.
The judicial proceedings seem to be highly unusual. /s
All this will be thrown out on appeal.
Except for the history of the 9th circus, I would agree.
Literal translation, but idiomatically wouldn't "Inquisition" cover it better?
Sidebar, I applied for a job in the Houston area some years ago. ACED the interview, and found the street I wanted to live on in the suburb of Meadows Place, a little cul-de-sac named Kangaroo Court.
Sadly, the company lost 90% (one customer) of its business the week after my interview and folded. *sigh*
Inquisition indeed.
Well, that event timing probably saved you a lot of grief. If they had folded 6 months after you went to work for them, it would have been more painful.
The 9th might agree, but it’ll just go onto the Supreme Court and get tossed there.
Oddly, I keep waiting on some House effort to add another court or two, and dismantle the 9th to a California-only situation, and nothing has occurred.
I was on a jury one time and the judge did ask the witnesses a couple of questions. I was surprised, but apparently it’s common.
