Ok, let the Congress do shit and overrule. How will they react when the first lawsuits against US are filed ?
There are so many issues with this bill, I don't know where to begin.
"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
It's all about protecting his own, not his country. Obama is a coward (though not the only president who would act as such) because he would never veto this if he was running for his second term. Also, what a way to acknowledge America's past of villainy.upending the normal means by which the government singles out foreign nations as state sponsors of terrorism and opening American officials and military personnel to legal jeopardy.
I imagine, if people couldn't seek punitive measures against Saudi Arabia, they'd settle for just financial compensation; but Obama isn't offering that to his people either in denying them their pursuit of restitution and closure.

Maybe President Trump will exile Obama with other Muslims.

If the plaintiffs had the financial means to get there, I'd imagine SA would arrange for kidnapping and assassinations.

Canada can finally rule when the US goes broke. J/k, Canada never had a chance.

For real: what is the idea behind lawsuit versus Saudi Arabia ? who/what is the defendant ?
Wait a second ...
so does that mean the whole world can sue USA for it's involvement in A LOT of shit around the world?
Woah, you REALLY don't want that, USA ... oh no, you don't.
Some how in these types of threads Israel will end up being blamed. *waits*
People have tried to sue churches, why hasn't anyone tried to sue mosques or some religious body? Are they going to sue IS next?
Well... do we want precedent that its cool to sue a country that harmed you?
The US would be out of money faster than you can say "what the fuck Greymane, why are you eating my popcorn?"
The entire notion is nuts, I mean for fuck sake it would be a never ending spiral of lawsuits from countries who feel like they have the right to sue.
I want to see republican comments on this matter..
Of course he ran cover for the Saudis, no one is surprised by this. Bush did too.
People just don't understand that political leadership is a special "elite" club. They won't go against one of their own. There is really only one party in this country (it just shows you two faces to give you the illusion of choice). Only a few people are still falling for it, most aren't.
That's why they all hate Trump and he has them all in a tither. He isn't a member of that club and the club members are afraid of what he might do to affect their little club if he wins. Why do you think the Bushes are supporting Hillary? Because the family that attacked Iraq twice someone finds Trump distasteful? Hahaha, that is almost as ridiculous as Hillary saying thatTtrump is the "dangerous" one when she bombed out Libya with Obams with no congressional approval at all....
