Stacy: The Star Chamber

“Let's focus on YOU?? You do understand this is a committee, don't you? We all have an equal vote.”

I glared around the room. “Or any of your votes, for that matter.” None would meet my gaze.

"You're weak, all of you,” I snarled. “Too weak to hold power, to weak to even be near power.”

I stalked to the door and unspooled the rope ladder. “Now get out of my treehouse!"

In modern usage, legal or administrative bodies with strict, arbitrary rulings and secretive proceedings are sometimes called "star chambers".

I love this site.

Thanks for taking time to clarify; I was not familiar with the phrase.
