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.

At what cost?
LOL
“California or Bust” just got a new twist.
Let me guess—her district has one of these high security prisons so all the Gitmo detainees can go there???
Uh, huh. I’m so sure the voters are with you on this one DiFi!! LOL!
We aren’t worried about the escaping..we are worried about some liberal judge leting them loose in the US.
Is this the same system that holds a lot of Bloods and Crips as well as MS-13 thugs? Seems to me these terror suspects will love the recruiting possibilities; obviously Diane hasn’t thought this out very well.
Maybe the Yemenis will buy it? They have a great track record of keeping terrorists out of circulation...
Eminently? Eminently?
Where's Mandy Potemkin when you need him?
Is this a ploy to reopen Alcatraz?
It took Webb in Virginia a week to back down after his offer. Lets all contact Difi and see if we can do in two days.
Yes, she’s our Senator folks.
Nevermind, it’s just another California moment. Hopefully it will pass in time.
I’m just surprised it wasn’t Boxer. There’s eleven eggs short of a dozen if ever there was one.
Biden will have to keep busy, to keep one step ahead of her on the gaff count.
Then volunteer to take them all, Ms. Feinstein. All of them.
Shut up lady! So sick of you. How did I know that if these slugs came to the U.S., they would end up in California.
And if not, they could always re-open Alcatraz.
Well, the A-holes tried to topple the WTC the first time because we were holding and had put on trial that blind mulla crap head in NYC. What’s the worst that could happen? /sarc
“and from which people — trust me — do not escape. “
She responds to her own argument:
Why would we ever trust her?
I suspect that DiFi was chosen for the task of being the person to offer up her states prisons for this. Reason being that she is pretty much an untouchable in CA and in the Senate. She's the "calm, reasonable, grandmotherly" figure that nobody feels comfortable talking back to or questioning. The RATS might think she is the only person in Congress who could get away with this. I don't think she'd risk her reputation over this without being coerced or compensated in some way.
After seeing several documentaries on Pelican Bay, it might not be a bad idea.
A bad, bad place.
What’s wrong with that bitch, just execute all of them!
