Obama vetoes 9/11 bill

So people can spend lots of money on a costly legal battle only for Saudi Arabia to not pay up when the court rules against them.  Sounds like a good plan, definitely.

If it means we'll cut back on our military aid to enforce it, I'll endorse.

...You know me well Mr. shua.  Though I can't say I'd be too confident that would actually happen.

Apparently the Senate is planning to hold the override vote tomorrow.  I considered writing a letter to Gillibrand but probably way too late at this point.

Interesting to note that last week the Senate tabled a resolution to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia.  It seems that some Senators who feel very strongly that 9/11 families should be able to sue the Saudis for sponsoring terrorism have no problem with gleefully providing them with more weapons.  23 dems and 4 republicans supported the resolution.

I know he's retiring, but it's kind of amazing that a vote could happen with the minority leader being the lone Nay vote.

Interesting coalition of nay votes in the House... including people like Raul Grijalva, Jim Clyburn, and Maxine Waters from the Dems and Jason Chaffetz, Don Young, and Steve King from the Republicans.
