Believe me there will be lawsuits against the US F&WS but where we can really damage these people is personal lawsuits. Rodda is a great example. USGS who he’s working for is doing all the work on the island of Guam and one of the people that are backing this is their representative to the House of Representatives. Under RICO if it can be shown that you lied or offered false statements and made money because of it, you are guilty of racketeering. Now USGS is probably just as guilty as Rodda but they have lots of money and can drag it out for years but if your sue Rodda personally then he gets to pick up the tab.
A developer did this to two forestry people out here a few years ago that he said held up a big project because of their personal views by using junk science. By the time anyone stepped in to help these people they were broke.
