Webster's Dictionary defines the VERB form of the word "judge" as follows:
to form an authoritative opinion, to determine or pronounce after inquiry and
deliberation, to form an estimate,conclusion or evaluation about
something....what strikes me as odd with this definition is that Mr. Webster
(or Ms.
Webster) failed to use either of these two words....Impartial and Unbiased.
Not all judges are to be impartial. At Saddam's trial the judge is the
prosecutor. When we pick a Supreme Court judge, (or as we know our President
does) he picks someone with his philosophy of society, and does not expect
them
to be impartial.
In dogs, the AKC does require impartiality, but that is not a requirement of
all "judges". I learn that over every time I go to court. Sometimes I hate
that, and sometimes I love it. But, I have learned that what happens in dog
shows is one of the few times a judge is to be impartial and unbiased.
Webster is right.
