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.

"First time chamber has delivered such a blow during presidency; House expected to override too"

Can’t believe the Quislings are voting for the overide. Reid voted NO

Should have been happening at least once a month, every month since the 2012 midterms.

Schumer was saying he would vote “yes” & when Reid is gone, Scmucky is expected to be the new ‘sheriff’ in town for the Dems.

Can you believe all but one Dem voted for it.

I just can’t believe it.

The evidence must be very strong.

Time to make the evil Saudis sweat.

OMG! Is this the FIRST override since obama got in?

For those wondering how this goes.....class-action suit probably....into the billions....and the big question will be where they decide to place the suit.

At this point, with the Saudis in some trouble over oil prices, they have to be asking where the heck this leads onto. If they reach some conclusion and it’s in the five to ten billion range...they might agree and just pay it. But one might wonder if the Twin Towers owners want a piece of the action, and what a jury might decide is “fair”.

At this conclusion....maybe four years down the road, we could be talking about freezing virtually every dime of Saudi money and putting the whole kingdom into a financial tailspin. The Iranians would be happy as heck to see this happen, and so would the Russians.

Oil price just spiked but don’t know the timing versus the actual vote.

Can the victims of ISIS terrorism Sue Obama for creating ISIS?

[left that other site]

An override of the president’s veto is the same as a “No Confidence” vote in the UK.

In my humble, unlearned opinion.

Quack quack Obama lame.
