Breaking: Senate votes 97 to 1 to override Obama’s 9/11 bill veto –Vote is first override of Saudi-influenced Obama administration –Useless eater Harry Reid is only ‘no’ vote | 28 Sept 2016 |
The US Senate voted to override President Barack Obama’s veto of the bill that would allow Americans to potentially sue Saudi Arabia for 9/11. This is the first veto override during the Obama presidency.
Obama vetoed the bill last week, explaining that the “Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act” (JASTA) would erode the doctrine of sovereign immunity and expose the US to lawsuits around the world.
JASTA, which passed unanimously in both the House and the Senate, allows US judges to waive sovereign immunity claims when dealing with acts of terrorism committed on American soil – potentially allowing lawsuits against Saudi Arabia over the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
[Odd how Obama doesn't give a damn about 'US sovereignty' while pimping his TPP corporate takeover.]
