Diane Feinstein attacks prisoners and their families!

[Joanne98]

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said today that she would continue to push a proposal that would allow prisons to jam cell phones, despite a related bill passing the Senate Wednesday.

The newly passed legislation , sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, would prohibit cell phone use in federal prisons and classify the devices as contraband. It somewhat overlaps Hutchison's proposed legislation - in that both try to stop inmates from making cell phone calls - but the Texas Republican said the bills could work together.

"Though this bill helps deter contraband cell phones, additional measures are needed to prevent the use of phones after they are smuggled into prisons," Hutchison said. "My legislation, which passed the Senate last year, would allow prisons to safely deploy jamming devices to block calls from contraband cell phones that escape detection."

Hutchison's bill, which would order the Federal Communications Commission to create rules that allow prisons to set up jammers, passed the Senate back in October. But it has lingered untouched in a House Judiciary subpanel, despite having more than 50 co-sponsors on the House side.

I bet this %$#@ doesn't know that scam telecom companies located in the Cayman Islands charge prisoners FIVE DOLLARS A FUCKING MINUTE FOR PHONE CALLS!

Is it to much to ask DiFi to get her shit together or RETIRE! Do you even believe this IDIOT is on the CHAIRMAN of the INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE!

1. Is someone paying Feinstein to say 'no' to the legalization of pot

or is she just an idiot>

2. She's a fucking idiot I swear she is!

[Dawson Leery]

3. She and her husband profit greatly from the current wars.

Recall that DiFi also voted for Bush's tax cuts and massive spending increases. She is a typical blue dog.

4. She's a Republican officially now?

Is there still that dirty (D) after her name... er uh.. title?

Felons can't be nurses in this state. What happened to doing your time and being rehabilitated? They are screened out of apartments, seriously!

5. Is their having cell phones causing a problem, or is DiFi just stupid?

Sorry, a rhethorical question...we all know the answer.

6. This is a stupid bill. They are already NOT allowed. It is a smuggled in device.

Prisoners are not allowed cell phones... Now, you block out cell phones on prison grounds... that would also mean no cell for all the employees.. and I would suspect that most of the employees, and lawyers, and Dr.s would want access to their phones.

7. K&R. This about other people not being able to call out,prisoners are already

prevented from using cell phones.

Feinstein has been corrupt for decades, I have little hope she will be voted out.
