Stalling in Desperation

Dr Charles Nichols: You're getting pretty desperate, aren't you Mr Girard?
Samuel Gerard: Oh yeah.
--The Fugitive

Statists are in trouble on multiple fronts ranging from probes into FBI/DOJ misconduct to a Supreme Court nominee who could tilt the high court's balance away from statist preferences. Their hope is that the midterm election will save their playhouse from destruction.

As such, progressives, neocons, and deep state bureaucrats--along with a complicit media--are banding together in a thinly veiled stall tactic to slow down several threatening projects. The idea is to delay progress until the November elections when, they hope, Republicans lose control of at least the House which, it is presumed, would subsequently cause threats against the State to disappear.

This is what desperation looks like.
