VETO IS A NO-GO: Congress OVERRIDES Obama On Bill Allowing 9/11 Families To SUE Saudi Arabia

Obama’s not feeling the love from Congress as the clock counts down his last months as President. Barry’s veto got vetoed. Being a lame duck really sucks.

Well, it’s finally happened, folks.

Mark this day on your calendars.

Obama has managed to unite the Republicans and Democrats in Congress, both the House and the Senate have moved past the partisan politics and joined in one loud voice to proclaim:

‘YOU ARE WRONG, OBAMA!’

It’s a beautiful thing.

I’m getting a bit weepy.

From the New York Times:

WASHINGTON — Congress on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to override a veto by President Obama for the first time, passing into law a bill that would allow the families of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for any role in the plot.

Democrats in large numbers joined with Republicans to deliver a remarkable rebuke to the president. The 97-to-1 vote in the Senate and the 348-to-77 vote in the House displayed the enduring power of the Sept. 11 families in Washington and the diminishing influence here of the Saudi government.

The new law, enacted over the fierce objections of the White House, immediately alters the legal landscape. American courts could seize Saudi assets to pay for any judgment obtained by the Sept. 11 families, while Saudi officials have warned they might need to sell off hundreds of billions of dollars in holdings in the United States to avoid such an outcome.

The override comes at an already freighted moment in America’s relations with the kingdom. The Saudi government has vigorously denied that it played any role in the Sept. 11 attacks, and the commission investigating the attacks found “no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded the organization.” But the commission left open the possibility that some Saudi officials may have played roles.

The 9/11 families can now seek the justice that they deserve.

The Saudis, funders of terror, will lose billions of dollars.

Remember, 15 of the 19 terrorists on 9/11 were Saudi!

Maybe it’ll make them think twice about attacking Americans at home.

Share if you think that it’s great that the 9/11 families will FINALLY be able to get some JUSTICE after 15 years
