I'm in favor of dropping that word as a synonym for 'judge'.
It implies they work "justice". Seriously. Is there any justice in threatening the good order and discipline of the United States military? Is there any justice in threatening the safety and security of communities with physical, biological, social, and spiritual harm? Is there any justice in encouraging human beings to engage in a deadly behavior?
And, finally, is there any justice in declaring that parents are irrelevant, that religion is obsolete, and that emotions are a legitimate interest of the government?
