Morphine Prince 110,003 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly rejected on Wednesday President Barack Obama's veto of legislation allowing relatives of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia's government. As voting continued, the count was 87-0 against the veto. The measure next goes to the House of Representatives, which is due to vote later on Wednesday. If two-thirds of House members also support the "Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act," it would be the first veto override of Obama's eight-year presidency.

LePetitGAGABLover 21,234 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 What a bunch of hypocrites I cant Americans should sue the U.S. Government for all the guns used in shooting. Native Americans should sue the U.S. Government for reparations after what white colonials did to the. African Americans should sue for reparations after slavery. Oh, and lets not forget the thousands of Japanese that were killed in Nagasaki, their families should also sue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is. The Senate rejects it and then 2/3 of the House of Representatives has to reject it for the veto to be actually rejected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hope you won't be a hypocrite and acknowledge that victims of American war crimes matter too and their families, millions of them from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria etc should be able to sue USA and get compensated. Same goes with Native Americans and African Americans, as @LePetitMonstr said, but I doubt you'd want that as a taxpayer. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a hypocrite, I very often criticize the US government for their heinous actions in the Middle East. It's one of the reasons I do not stand for the pledge, so if someone wants to sue America, I'd be for it. And If Saudi Arabia isn't responsible, then they'll win the lawsuit, anyone should be able to use anyone. Maybe Saudi Arabia is innocent, the court system can tell us.

Economy 53,158 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 This is rediculous. Did the Government do it? Are the Government still made up of the same people They are too indirectly responsible for any negligence to directly sue like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
