Republican attorneys general are suing the FCC to keep predatory prison call charges that harm families/communities: “Under the final rules, the cost of a 15-minute phone call would drop to 90 cents from as much as $11.35 in large jails, while in small jails, it would cost $1.35 instead of $12.10.”

Little weird that they are arguing the FCC is wrong to cap phone calls at like an 800% markup on the actual cost of a call rather than the 8,00,000% markup currently being charged.

One anonymous legal expert had this to say: "I don’t know what the 🤬 this 💩 is, but it’d be less insulting to the Constitution to walk into the National Archives, open up the glass case, and take a 💩 directly on the Bill of Rights." www.pennlive.com/news/2024/06...

Another ex: in Ghettoside, Leovy points out that the homicide clearance rate in LA was ~67%, unless the victim was a Black man, where it dropped to 33%. LAPD said it was bc of a lack of cooperation. Leovy’s main source, a grumpy Republican homicide detective, said it was bc cops didn’t try.
