In a Senate floor speech today, Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham announced that they are offering an amendment to strip a key element of the recently passed Justice Against Sponsors of Terror Act (JASTA) that clarifies U.S. law for civil claims against foreign governments for funding terrorism.
JASTA was passed in the Senate in May with no objections, and passed the House of Representatives unanimously in September. President Obama promptly vetoed the bill. The Senate and House successfully voted to override the veto and the bill became law.
McCain and Graham specifically said they want to strip the "discretionary state function" provision from JASTA that creates liability for foreign governments funding terrorist groups.
According to Hill sources familiar with the McCain/Graham amendment, their intention is to immunize countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar that have funded Sunni terrorist groups in Syria -- the Syrian "rebel" effort that both McCain and Graham have publicly supported since 2011.
The McCain/Graham amendment was slammed by 9/11 family groups that fought for JASTA.

So many bought-and-paid-for scumbags in government aiding and abetting the enemy...
Considering their behavior regarding Syria, I would expect them to be FAR MORE INTERESTED in getting a bill through Congress that will prevent President Trump from prosecuting them for their support of ISIS.
These two are sewer rats.
*foreign courts*
What a laugh.
Did McCain actually take time from
getting the IRS to attack conservatives?
or from covering up his role in Benghazi and
the murder and rape of the Ambassador by,
and for, his friends in ISIS?
They behave like jealous bitches.
Hmm, I didn’t see “caveat” in the Constitution. What is and how does a caveat work on existing law?
Well, it isn’t like McCain isn’t comfortable with giving comfort to the enemy, or that he hasn’t done it before.
How about a Lion cage like that poor unfortunate guy from Egypt who was until quite recently, a lion-tamer?
Failed lion-tamers are like successful kamikazes and suicide bombers: toast.
These 2 are trying to make RINO’s great. Not gonna happen.
Always behind the lead sled dogs. I guess they are comfortable with the view.
Didn’t Wikileaks reveal that the Saudis and Qatar are funding ISIS?
Then why did the Clinton Foundation and John Podesta take money from them?
And why are these two sellout RINOs trying to bend over right before Trump comes into power?
McCain crashed three planes and nearly sank a carrier, one of ours. His old man was the head of the Navy Personnel Bureau with tremendous power. The idiot son got away with everything while at the Academy, graduating near the bottom of his class. They say he acted with cowardice at the Hanoi Hilton, but his captors knew he was the son of CINCPAC and let him alone and survive. Now he’s making money off our enemies in the Middle East. The guy should be locked up if only for his Keating Five scandal.
If they are for it, I’m agin’ it
McCain was selected by the Uniparty at the same time they agreed to let the non-NBC Obama to run. We were screwed.
Trump is essentially a third party unto himself. He understands that. He also understands he has to maintain direct contact with the people to get around the corrupt MSM.
Please give your mom my love.
I will. She’s a hoot and was involved for years in turning our state Republican (started witb IKE). Was awarded by our politicians some years ago with a referendum from the state house floor. She’s a pistol. Love her to bits.
I agree. They should never be allowed to hold office of any kind. They are evil in word and deed. They prove it over and over. They work for the psychopathic sodomites who want a NWO and Vice to be Virtue. They try to destroy the Constitution at every turn.
ha ha!
Maybe the two of them are guilty of funding ISIS in Libya and Syria?
