I appreciate your analysis, although I am not certain the decision is as internally consistent as you make it out to be. I found her use of "intimate" for "intimidate" troubling in particular, as it suggest she may have been rationalizing a decision that was basically political, placating the executive branch and law enforcement. While she may not be increasing any of the sentences in these cases, she is setting a precedent for future law enforcement actions against environmental activists.
