He was yet another LMR witch hunt casualty. And he had a bulletproof defense. He was exempt as a manufacturer doing R&D. Stine/Miller/Apt booted him devoid of "due process". A monologue is not due process BTW. It is a kangaroo court.

Jay Apt refused to allow a point by point defense in favor of a Miller monologue. My legal defense was ignored in toto. It was a kangaroo court pure and simple. Resided over by an astronaut. Evil resides in the strangest places. Jerry And now for the first time it is on the record. Jay is retired from NASA.

I suspect it's an Americanism - the term refers to a tribunal which seems to have been arranged more to produce a prepared result than to provide a fair hearing on the issues. (I'm not sure how the phrase itself originated, or what the supposed comparison to kangaroos is supposed to be...) -dave w >> Now Jerry I let the first mention of 'Kangaroo Court' go....... >> but that's twice......I gotta pipe up!!! [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > -dave w "Interestingly, the term kangaroo court, meaning a criminal proceeding that is conducted for show and where the defendant is inevitably going to be found guilty, is not of Australian origin. The earliest use of the term was recorded in Texas, of all places, circa 1850. The term Kangaroo court was unknown in Australia until it was introduced there from America. No one knows how this term arose, but it is usually assumed to be in reference to how the defendant will be bounced from the court to the gallows. Lighter suggests that the term may have arisen from the way a kangaroo court defies the law, just as the kangaroo's appearance seems to defy the laws of nature." http://www.wordorigins.org/wordork.htm Signature...The Bit Eimer NAR 84054 L1 "My goal in life is to be the kind of person my cat thinks he is" [remove keinewurst and reverse letters in domain to email me] -------------------------------------------------------------- Well how about that!

My favorite is a phrase my dad used to say that I believe came from the Australian Navy. After finishing a bottled beverage (usually alcoholic) he would say "another dead Marine", sometimes adding "who served his country well". > > Well how about that!

I've elsewhere encountered the term "dead soldiers" for empty drink bottles. -dave w Yup, we use the term dead soldiers up here though mostly for beer bottles. Even our cops do, as is "I hope that case in your back seat is all dead soldiers." "Yes, officer, I'm (hic) taking them back for the deposit (hic). Would you like a (hic) breath mint?".

I do believe that is the origin of the phrase.
