Some just more equal than others

As I read the account of the Snohomish District Court judge who is essentially getting a "free pass" on a DUI charge, I was reminded of a long ago high school language arts assignment. If my fading memory is correct, it was in a George Orwell novel in which he wrote, "All animals are equal, some are just more equal than others."

That would seem to nicely summarize the situation in this case.
