Victims' Relatives Say Justice Dept. Bid To Shield Royal Family From Lawsuit Undermines Fight Against Terror.
Relatives of Sept. 11 victims say they're angry that the Justice Department is supporting the Saudi royal family's bid to be removed from a 9/11 lawsuit.
The families of some victims have accused the royal family of financially backing terror groups that carried out the 2001 attack.
Their complaint alleges that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi High Commission for Relief to Bosnia and Herzegovina (SHC), and four Saudi Princes (acting in both official and personal capacities) made donations to charitable organizations with the knowledge that those organizations were diverting funds to al Qaeda, and that a fifth Saudi prince knowingly provided banking and financial services to Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
The Justice Department filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday. It supports the Saudis' argument that the royal family as a sovereign state cannot be sued in a U.S. court.

Gettin’ Paid only goes so far in my book. If these aggrieved families have already been compensated by the Government, they don’t have any standing in my book.
Not the change these New Yorkers hoped for?
Isn’t UHbama going over their to bow and slobber before these so called (SELF-MADE, LOL and named hee hee) royals? I mean...isn’t he going over their to wink! wink! tell the oil barrons that America will always protect muslim radicals over the Jewish folks? And isn’t UHbama and his fellow American hater thugs well aware of the RICHES the clintons have gotten from kissing the arabic thugs fat toes? I mean....where did billy get the money to build his LIEbrary? Remember? And remember billy’s anti-American speeches over there that trashed our nation? Gee....OF COURSE UHbama is going to DENY the 9/11 victems recourse....he is BUSY building his money !
Oil is thicker than truth.
Their anger is justified but here is the key to why the Barry Administration is doing what it is:
“...a sovereign state cannot be sued in a U.S. court”

First you kiss the ring, then you kiss the a$$.
What the heck did they think was going to happen as a muslim took over running the country? So far, 0 has taken every oportunity to side with terrorists whether it be Gauantanamo, bending over to kiss the hand of muzzies, getting rid of the state of Israel, or taken every chance to deride America as best he can to every nation on earth including iran and N. korea.
9/11 Families Angered As U.S. Backs Saudis
Anyone who wants to hold someone responsible for 9/11 should file a lawsuit against the U.S. Justice Department and Jamie Gorelick.
