Obama reacts to Congress overturning his veto
Posted: Sep 28, 2016
President Barack Obama expressed his disappointment on Wednesday with Congress, which voted overwhelmingly to overturn his presidential veto on a bill that would allow families of terrorist victims to sue foreign nations. The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) will allow the families of 9/11 victims to seek restitution by suing Saudi Arabia, where the vast majority of the hijackers hailed from. It passed Congress unanimously, but Obama had expressed his intention to veto it, which he did on Friday. The Senate voted Wednesday 97-1 to override Obama’s veto, and the House voted likewise 348-77, effectively passing the bill....;
This is the first intnce I"ve heard of Congress oppositing him - on anything, and a veto override
[ In Reply To ..]at that. It took them 8 years and a national tragedy.
Let's hope they do it with the Internet giveaway.
I think we're being played. The Democrats didn't all of a sudden - become ballsy and patriotic.
[ In Reply To ..]This law will result in the US government being sued and the liberals agreeing to pay. Note to everyone - ever hear of “sue and settle?" Your about to get it on a global basis.
This assessment could be the scenario, but if you - want to steal wealth from Western
[ In Reply To ..]nations, it's easier to just bribe their governments and get the money paid directly (like Clinton pay for play).
It saves the trouble of a long trial, and the Clinton Foundation sells out cheaper than it would cost to pay the lawyers.
right now there's a ton of "scientists" being paid very well - to say that Western carbon
[ In Reply To ..]emissions are harming poor people in Africa. One class-action lawsuit could transfer trillions from the US and Europe.
I'm suspicious when that many Democrats vote with Republicans.
A mistake is an unintended action. This law was not a mistake but it is a very bad idea. If a nation plays a part in committing a terrorist act in this country then the remedy is war or something else done by our country against their country.
How long before the left claims England sponsors environmental terrorism by supporting BP? How long will it take the leftist in the rest of the world to sue us? Who defines terrorism? Israel will be the first country sued out of existence.
When conservatives ever learn that every government initiative will be used against us?
And why enrich more lawyers?
Remember when he said, "If the political winds turn ugly, - I will stand with the Muslims."
[ In Reply To ..]I guess he meant it.
This also could be a setup like for blacks to sue the U.S. for reparations. The U.N. is already calling for that.
