After making it clear that he did not approve of the Republicans’ plan to move forward with a nomination and confirmation — especially after they effectively stalled former President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland’s in 2016 — Feldman added, “Regardless of what you or I may think of the circumstances of this nomination, Barrett is highly qualified to serve on the Supreme Court.”
Feldman went on to note that he disagreed with Barrett on a number of issues, but that he did not believe it impaired her ability to be a good judge.
I disagree with much of her judicial philosophy and expect to disagree with many, maybe even most of her future votes and opinions. Yet despite this disagreement, I know her to be a brilliant and conscientious lawyer who will analyze and decide cases in good faith, applying the jurisprudential principles to which she is committed. Those are the basic criteria for being a good justice. Barrett meets and exceeds them.
Feldman recalled going to Barrett for help when he was presented with complex cases, saying that she “had the ability to bring logic and order to disorder and complexity.”
In conclusion, Feldman referenced the all but inevitable political battle over Barrett’s confirmation and argued that the Supreme Court should not be ruled by “pure power politics.” (RELATED: ‘I Was Completely Radicalized’: Meghan McCain Says Kavanaugh Hearings ‘Changed The Game’)
“Some might argue that you should want your probable intellectual opponent on the court to be the weakest possible, to help you win. But the Supreme Court is not and should not be a battlefield of winner-take-all political or ideological division,” he said.
Saying that he hoped the senators who questioned Barrett would treat her respectfully, Feldman concluded that he was “confident that Barrett is going to be a good justice, maybe even a great one — even if I disagree with her all the way.”

thedailycaller--2020-09-26--CCW Weekend: Physics, Ballistics And The Birdshot Myth

The humble shotgun suffers from an absolute deluge of myths , misconceptions , lies , and outright hogwash to a degree unmatched by the myths , misconceptions , lies and outright balderdash pertaining to other firearm types .
One of the worst of these tropes that never seems to die is one of stacking one or two shells of non-lethal ( or more accurately , less-than-lethal ) ammunition ahead of anti-personnel ammunition in the magazine .
Typically , the idea goes that you load a bean bag round , rubber slug , or birdshot as the first or even the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead slugs for the rest .
The reason is usually to have a “ warning shot , ” in other words a munition you can smack a home invader with to give them the idea that they broke into the wrong rec room , but without killing them .
Some people even perpetuate the idea that a non-lethal first shot makes a lethal follow-up shot justifiable since the person was clearly given a warning they did not heed , meaning the threat was clearly real .
It sounds great in the movies .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it works in real life .
First of all , use of a gun – at all – is only legally permissible if the threat is actually real ; “ it was only birdshot , Your Honor ” is not a legal defense .

In other words , if the threat isn ’ t serious enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shell of 00 buck , it ’ s not serious enough to shoot , period .
Then there ’ s the issue of less-lethal ammunition and their powers of persuasion .
Now is it the case that rubber buckshot or slugs , or a bean bag round , or for that matter birdshot , is anything you want to get hit with ?
Obviously not .
But is it the case that it ’ s going to stop a person ?

There are plenty of reports of police officers that had to put multiple shells of buckshot into suspects to stop them , so it ’ s not the case that 00 buck is even a guaranteed one-shot-stop , and if even buckshot doesn ’ t do it 100 percent of the time , what good is birdshot going to do ?

Force equals mass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the amount of force a projectile delivers depends on the mass of the projectile as well as the velocity to which it is accelerated by the charge of propellant .

a projectile begins to lose velocity to wind resistance and gravity .

A solid projectile , having more mass , will lose momentum ( and energy ) at a slower rate than a bunch of tiny projectiles .
Birdshot is literally a whole bunch of tiny round pellets ( No .

But that’s not really how it works in real life.
First of all, use of a gun – at all – is only legally permissible if the threat is actually real; “it was only birdshot, Your Honor” is not a legal defense.
Furthermore, we have the “warning shot” as a concept. If the threat wasn’t serious enough to actually shoot the person, it wasn’t serious enough to shoot them.

If someone is determined enough to do you grave harm, they may need a lot of convincing. Buckshot and slugs are known to be convincing; others are not.
There are plenty of reports of police officers that had to put multiple shells of buckshot into suspects to stop them, so it’s not the case that 00 buck is even a guaranteed one-shot-stop, and if even buckshot doesn’t do it 100 percent of the time, what good is birdshot going to do?

Force equals mass times acceleration. In other words, the amount of force a projectile delivers depends on the mass of the projectile as well as the velocity to which it is accelerated by the charge of propellant.

The aerodynamic properties of the projectile – specially the ballistic coefficient, but let’s not get too far into the weeds – determine the rate at which velocity is lost. The greater the mass and the higher the ballistic coefficient, the slower the rate of loss.
This is why rifle bullets remain lethal at distances past 1,000 yards and why shotgun pellets become ineffective within 100 yards.
Herein layeth the problem with birdshot.

It takes several hundred foot-pounds of force to break bone, and about 100 ft-lbs to penetrate skin. While birdshot leaves the barrel with enough energy to do lethal damage, it loses it fast, and even after a few feet is no longer lethal.
For visual reference, here’s a gel test of birdshot:
For a bit more detail, here’s a slow-motion gel test using 1-oz No. 8:
As you can see, birdshot does do impressive superficial damage but it is, again, only superficial. All the energy is transmitted into the target in the first few inches of ballistic gel.

President Donald Trump nominated federal judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States.
If confirmed, Barrett will replace former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“I’m truly humbled by the prospect of serving on the Supreme Court,” Barrett said. “ Should I be confirmed, I will be mindful of who came before me.”
President Donald Trump nominated federal judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States on Saturday.
“Over the past week our nation has mourned the loss of a true American legend,” Trump said, calling the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg a “legal giant” and pioneer.”
“For the last three years, Judge Barrett has served with immense distinction,” the president said. “She’s more than a stellar judge but profoundly devoted mother. Her family is a core part of who Amy is. She opened her home and her heart and adopted two beautiful children from Haiti. Her incredible bond with her youngest child, a son with down syndrome, is a true inspiration.”
“If confirmed, Justice Barrett will make history as the first mother of school age children ever to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court,” he added. Trump encouraged lawmakers to quickly confirm Barrett, and to do so with dignity and without personal attacks.
Barrett will replace former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Sept. 18 at the age of 87 due to complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer. Barrett’s pro-life stances contrast sharply to Ginsburg’s fierce defense of abortion access in the United States.
“I’m truly humbled by the prospect of serving on the Supreme Court. Should I be confirmed, I will be mindful of who came before me,” Barrett said. “The flag of the United States is still flying at half-staff in memory of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to mark the end of a great American life.”
“Justice Ginsburg began her career at a time when women were not welcome in the legal profession,” the nominee added. “But she not only broke dealings she smashed them. For that, she has won the admiration of women across the country and indeed, all over the world.”
The Supreme Court nominee has been frank about prioritizing her Catholic faith. (RELATED: Here Are 7 Things You Need To Know About Amy Coney Barrett)
“If you can keep in mind that your fundamental purpose in life is not to be a lawyer, but to know, love and serve God,” Barrett said during a 2006 commencement address to Notre Dame law students, “you truly will be a different kind of lawyer.”
Trump considered nominating Barrett to replace former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy in 2018 but ultimately chose Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“I’m saving her for Ginsburg,” Trump said of Barrett in 2019, Axios reported. (RELATED: ‘Disgusting Attacks On Her Faith’ — Sasse Condemns ‘Anti-Catholic Bigotry’ Against Amy Coney Barrett)
“This confirmation process will be nasty,” Republican Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement Saturday. “Why? Because too many on the left (and sadly some on the right as well) want judges who will substitute their own will for the law.”
“Judge Barrett is not that kind of judge,” he added. “She believes her duty isn’t to arbitrarily slop applesauce on stone tablets and declare new laws — her duty is to cloak her personal views under a black robe and to faithfully uphold the Constitution. That makes her a problem to rabid partisans, and an ally to the rule of law.”
The president appointed Barrett to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017, according to the New York Times. Her confirmation hearings gained national attention when Democratic lawmakers questioned her about her Catholic beliefs, suggesting that Barrett’s Catholicism made her unfit to serve as a judge.
“The conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you,” Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein told her. “And that’s of concern.”

Feinstein is not the only critic to suggest that Barrett’s views make her unfit to serve on the Supreme Court. Ahead of Trump’s announcement, media outlets linked a Catholic group associated with Barrett to the fictional dystopian novel “The Handmaid’s Tale,” falsely reporting that the Catholic group People of Praise was the inspiration for the book.
Filmmaker Arlen Parsa also called Barrett a “Catholic extremist with 7 children” in a since-deleted tweet, criticizing the nominee for her pro-life views.

“Her religious convictions are pro-life, and she lives those convictions,” Barrett’s longtime Catholic mentor, Judge Patrick J. Schiltz, told the Times. “The question of what we believe as a religious matter has nothing to do with what we believe a written document says.”
Republican Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse said in statement Tuesday: “These ugly smears against Judge Barrett are a combination of anti-Catholic bigotry and QAnon-level stupidity. People of Praise is basically a Bible study — and just like billions of Christians around the world, Judge Barrett reads the Bible, prays, and tries to serve her community.” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: ‘Disgusting Attacks On Her Faith’ — Sasse Condemns ‘Anti-Catholic Bigotry’ Against Amy Coney Barrett)

From dry, dull skin to that ever-present maskne (yep, it’s a thing), your skin is in serious need of a little attention these days. While that 3-in-1 shampoo has been the extent of your skincare routine for the last year or so, there are other cost-effective, easy-to-use products out there that can have that face glowing in no time.
When it comes to your skin, it’s never a “one-size-fits-all” kind of thing. That’s why Geologie, the revolutionary men’s skincare line, takes the time to get familiar with your unique facial conditions to provide you with a tailor-made routine that touches on all your specific issues. You can’t quite say that about that body wash sitting in your shower, can you?
How Geologie works is simple. You’ll start by answering a short 30-second diagnostic quiz, giving the brilliant minds at the lab an idea of what you need. Then Geologie formulates a complete set of products personalized for you. The set includes an everyday face wash, vital morning face cream, repairing night cream and nourishing eye cream. Each formulated for your skin, specifically. And over time, you can pick and choose which products you want, giving you full control over your long-term routine.
Unlike other men’s skincare out there, Geologie has products targeted to your problem areas and needs, whether that be wrinkle prevention, acne management, or just sensitive skin. It’s no wonder the revolutionary company has won a handful of awards and has been featured in Men’s Health, Esquire, Gear Patrol, and more.
Check out what actual men are saying about Geologie online!
“I’m quite impressed by the ingredients, the smart packaging, and the fragrance-free products. These three considerations put Geologie light-years ahead of the competition.” – Matt, Boston, MA
“It’s remarkable. I’ve never had a product line improve my skin so quickly. The ingredients are top-notch and I’m incredibly impressed.” – Tyler, Portland, OR

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden ’ s campaign called a lid on in-person events before noon Saturday , the seventh in the last 14 days alone .
The Hill ’ s media reporter Joe Concha asked whether Biden ’ s campaign — moving “ at a 50 % clip ” with fewer than six weeks to go before the November election — was “ a preview of a Biden presidency.
” ( RELATED : Biden Campaign Calls A ‘ Lid ’ Before Noon For The Eighth Time This Month ) And Concha was not the only one to notice .

Joe Biden called a lid on the day earlier this morning. No events, no questions. Less than 6 weeks before the election, the Democratic nominee is working at a 50% clip, calling a lid 7 of the past 14 days and 11 of the past 26 this month. Is this a preview of a Biden presidency? — Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) September 26, 2020
And Concha was not the only one to notice.
Joe Biden called a lid AGAIN today! That’s 7 TIMES IN 14 DAYS! He spent 47 years in politics – if you think he needs multiple FULL DAYS to prepare for a debate, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. He’s physically and mentally the weakest Presidential candidate in American history. — Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) September 26, 2020
