Part of a trend by the Court's conservatives to keep foreign-based disputes out of U.S. courts. Unfortunately, in this case, it will result in a lot of victims of Arab terrorism being denied any effective forum.

Liberals don’t want our military to be the world’s cop (and truly neither do I, but until some other countries step to the plate we may be required to continue to be the sole military super power), but Liberals DO want our courts to be the world’s judiciary system!
Can anyone explain that bipolar thought process?!?

It is not the responsibility of the US court system to redress foreign wrongs
Read Gorsuvh’s opinion. Straight forward and constitutional
If those injured want redress let them go to the vaunted world court
