WASHINGTON—The Senate voted Wednesday to override President Barack Obama’s veto of legislation that would allow Americans to sue foreign governments over terrorist attacks, the first time the chamber has delivered such a rebuke to the president since he took office.

The House is currently debating the veto override. It is expected to get the necessary two-thirds vote. The 9-11 families will be permitted to seek justice despite the Liberal Messiah.
Not just electing Trump, but holding on to the Senate. Make sure you vote for the ‘Pubbie candidate, no matter who it is and how you may despise them. No hissy fits about “oh so-and-so is a no-good RINO because he/she didn’t vote for my positions 100% of the time”. Just make sure the ‘Rats don’t get control, because even with a President Trump we aren’t going to get decent justice nominations through without the Senate.
That’s because the Trial Lawyers typically vote Rat.
Not with its current make up they won’t
I’m with you 100% on Trump!
And this is a bad thing? NOT!! It will hopefully drive companies back to the US, not only for the tax relief, but to sidestep corrupt foreign governments.
Yeah and lawyers will be the big winners! I’m not sure how I feel about this as a whole.
Damn, eight years in and the senate finally decides to do....SOMETHING.
Moving ICANN into the global arena finally puts the nail in the coffin of Internet free speech.
Yep...FR to be banned as hate speech in two weeks
“What’s the difference between then and now?”
One Donald J. Trump is what’s different.
Vote Trump 2016
This is a good thing. NOW the congress has to stop that SOB from transferring WE THE PEOPLE’S INTERNET to the Democrat party for them to do as they wish with it.
YES I SAID “TRANSFERRING WE THE PEOPLE’S INTERNET to the Democrat party”. It’s what is happening IF he gives the internet over to the U.N.
The Democrats are part of the NWO scheme, therefore in conjunction with their brethren of the U.N. they can bypass the first amendment with the internet under the control of the outside element. Voila! Our right of freedom of speech, our right to post this message at Free Republic becomes prohibited by U.N. decree.
Think about it. The Democrats have been after this sort of control since before Jimmah Cahtah. The Democrats have been front, and center in developing the leftist Tri lateral commission, as well every one of those we have held in trust as our leaders have all been members of leftist Council on Foreign Relations.
The transfer of our, the people’s internet cannot go through period.
If an election weren't looming, most, if not all, of the dems and RINOs would've supported their commie kenyan master, Hussein.
This is a terrible move by the republicans.
So now everybody can sue governments for the harm that they do?
Bet some Syrians might have something to say about having bombs dropped on their heads.
This violates treaties that we’ve agreed to.
This is all about making Ryan look good and saving his career. NO freaking logic being applied here.
I believe that this is the first time in 8 years that I’ve agreed with Obama and I’m irritated with our GOP for putting me in this situation. smh
The House is now voting.
Something stinks to HIGH Heaven.
And it makes NO freaking sense.
The ONLY thing that I can imagine is if Congress is using this as a negotiating ploy to bring OPEC to heel. Threaten them with this BS if they don’t stop flooding the oil markets.
How many individuals are going to be suing US for Obama’s unsanctioned drone wars?
This is a freaking game and I’m not falling for it.
The Trump Effect.
You just hit the nail on the head.
This has nothing to do with 911 families or ‘justice’. This is a strong-arm tactic being used against OPEC to get them to stop flooding the markets.
They’re trying to revitalize fracking and that can’t happen while prices are so low.
“Can the victims of ISIS terrorism Sue Obama for creating ISIS?”
If this bill passes, hell yes. But not OBAMA. The US tax payer will be sued. WE will be sued. They can also sue us for his unsanctioned drone wars.
