Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) states that California prisons were “eminently capable” of housing detainees. She accuses conservatives for “fear-baiting”:
FEINSTEIN: Yes, we have maximum security prisons in California eminently capable of holding these people as well, and from which people — trust me — do not escape. So I believe that this has really been an exercise in fear-baiting. I hope it’s not going to be successful.

...the same system that holds a lot of Bloods and Crips...
The terrorists would probably be in much more danger to life and limb in CA prisons than in Gitmo.
It’s not the security of the prisons, its that the ACLU will get the courts to spring them into the public.
Judging by the results of the elections yesterday Rhino’s and liberals are eminently at risk of being defeated in the next election.
The only things Dianne thinks out really well are ways to funnel more government money into her hubby's business interests and how to take our gun rights away. The corrupt Feinstein-Boxer-Pelosi Bay Area Feminist/Socialist Power Trust is probably the biggest problem California faces, despite all the headlines about the budget.
California here we come
Right back where we started from
These high profile and high value terrorists need to be kept in a REALLY well defended location. A military base seems like an ideal location. One outside the borders of the US would be even better. Ooops - I guess that would be Guantanamo.
Feinstein has lost her mind. Not that she had that much of one to lose, but she has lost it.
DiFi’s usually pretty controlled in her statements, isn’t she? I’m really surprised she made this remark!
I’m sure her constituents are thrilled!
The price per prisoner won’t balance the budget. Feinkenstein, give them all your home address and invite them over for dinner or a sleepover. That’ll help your run for governor - that is, if you live through it.
Yes, we have maximum security prisons in California eminently capable of holding these people....
Sure! No problem!....Thanks Finestain!....Maybe we can find a cell in California eminently capable of holding you also??...
Yes, she’s generally been a lot less likely to put her foot in it, than many others in the Senate. This wasn’t one of her best moments.
Look, I disagree with her on most things, but she at least seems to have enough brains not to make herself look stupid. This is an exception to that IMO.
Really? I see a blank check here. The fact that no competitive bidding is being done, no price is being mentioned - it wouldn't surprize me in the least if Feinstein charges the Feds $1 Billion per prisoner. I don't like blank checks, and I don't trust politicians.
Moron. Hasn’t she heard that because the voters rejected tax hikes they’re going to have to let prisoners go?
...is this before or after California turns a bunch of prisoners loose due to bankruptcy?
When Feinstein was mayor of SF, she called a press conference to discuss the Night Stalker case, a string of violent rapes and murders that terrified the entire state. She divulged previously-confidential information about Richard Ramirez’ shoes and gun — and on hearing it, Ramirez promptly dumped them into the bay on his way out of town, eliminating key evidence in the case.
She also recently publicly disclosed classified information that the US was flying predator drones from a Pakistani base. This WAS classified because the predator flights were extremely unpopular with the Pakistani people.
Is Feinstein an idiot? YOU make the call.
Diane Fineswine must not have read the LAT this morning. It said that CA would have to let illegal alien criminals go because of the anti-tax vote yesterday. Looks like the corrupt CA Dems need to get their stories straight.
Won't that be just dandy. We can cross fertilize Crips, Bloods, MS-13 and Al Quida. As if the murderous drug gangs who operate with total impunity out of California prisons and can 'reach-out and touch" anyone they damn well please aren't bad enough. Being in prison does not slow them down at all. Now we will have insane Islamic terrorists making deals with that same well-oiled and totally ruthless domestic crime network.
Ms. Fienstein, you must be nuts!
