Kangaroo Court

"Son, this is a Washington DC kind of lie. It's when the other person knows you're lying, and also know you KNOW he knows. You follow?"
--Robert Leffingwell (Advise and Consent)

Over the past few years, colleges nationwide have established internal review processes for sexual misconduct and assault cases that essentially forego principles of jurisprudence in favor of expedience and political correctness. Several high-profile cases conducted in this manner have resulted in rulings against defendants based on accusations that were subsequently shown to be false.

Currently, progressives want to transfer a similar process to congressional proceedings. As stated here:

"What we're seeing is the importation of the famous kangaroo-court apparatus for adjudicating sexual-harassment and assault cases from college campuses--which often denies the accused basic protections of due process--to the U.S. Senate."

Some hope that our senators can keep the kangaroos from entering the building. However, it seems that kangaroos already occupy seats on the Senate floor.
