We're trying to work with Senator Schumer and Senator Cornyn, who deserve a lot of credit for trying to help the 9/11 families. Here's what we're asking. We're asking that we put a caveat to the law we just passed saying that you can bring a lawsuit, but if you're suing based on a discretionary function of a government to form an alliance with somebody or to make a military decision or a political decision, the only time that government is liable is if they knowingly engage with a terrorist organization directly or indirectly, including financing. I am okay with that because our country is not going to fall in league with terrorists and finance them to hurt other people. If we don't make this change, here's what I fear: That other countries will pass laws like this, and they will say that the United States is liable for engaging in drone attacks or other activity in the war on terror and haul us into court as a nation and haul the people that we give the responsibility to defend the nation into foreign courts.
Well - We know it will stop after Obama leaves office anyway.
But what if the people are stupid enough to vote another democrat in as president someday?
*foreign courts*
What a laugh.
Hmm, I didn’t see “caveat” in the Constitution. What is and how does a caveat work on existing law?
