It would be interesting if the oil company brought an “equal protection” lawsuit against the administration for not having an even-handed stance with the wind-power people.

Selective prosecution. If the crime is dead birds you can't single out a minor offender and turn a blind eye to major ones.

I hope the oil company does use an equality defense against this action. However, due to litigation costs and fear of additional government actions and reprisals they will probably pay a huge fine and that will be the end of it.

The government has deep pockets and more attorneys. The hypocrisy of this will go unnoticed by 95% of our citizens and the beat will go on.

I thought these articles and the underlying facts of this action were a perfect illustration of one of the major cancers our nation faces. Orwell was correct.
