Tbh, I thought for sure conservative ATS'er's known for attacking Obama and Clinton would have beaten me to the punch.

I don't think its all about the money with these families. They want accountability. If we can sue and find Iran guilty of 9/11 then so can we do the same with the House of Saud. Clearly corruption is behind this veto, nothing more.

I'm not a conservative.
Check my sig for timeline, and proof.
Oh, and I dont really post just mere 'news bits' or 'video clips'. In my old blogs I did, but in here its generally 'my own stuff' I ever post.

Well, we sued them and I doubt they'll be the last. The House of Saud are the guilty ones, not at all Iran. It's time for those in power to have some kind of accountability and if the only thing we can hope to get is a lawsuit then so be it, for now.
Maybe the US will slow down with its war machine if our politicians bank accounts suffered? F them all! BRING ON THE LAWSUITS!
Lawsuits, there is no justice in this world.

I get labelled a conservative like every day. Both links in my sig right now 'prove' I'm not a conservative, basically, definitely prove I'm not a Republican and never was.
ANYWAYS, the timeline is riddled with House of Saud and their cohorts from start to finish. Got them going back into the 190's, got them in the 80's involved in Iran-Contra coc aine smuggling, they're covered in every decade post-80's. They really helped cement the thing together, funnily enough, when I hadn't even set out with them in mind but they just kept popping up across the entire project.

President Barack Obama on Friday vetoed controversial legislation aimed at helping the families of the victims of the September 11th attacks sue Saudi Arabia — a move that sets up an emotionally-charged, election year showdown between an outgoing commander-in-chief and members of his party who supported the bill.
The measure, which was unanimously passed by both the House and Senate, enables the families of victims of the September 11th attacks to sue Saudi Arabia if that country is found legally liable for helping support the deadliest terrorist acts on U.S. soil. Fifteen of the 19 terrorists were Saudi and that nation's leaders have previously opposed the legislation and denied involvement.
The White House is strongly opposed to the legislation out of concerns it will open the floodgates and leave the U.S. vulnerable to similar suits. A bipartisan group of lawmakers backed the 9/11 families bill.
The president, in a statement on explaining the veto on Friday, said he has "deep sympathy for the families of the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11), who have suffered grievously. I also have a deep appreciation of these families' desire to pursue justice and am strongly committed to assisting them in their efforts."
What a piece of garbage and not a great way to leave office, despite having a high approval rating or not. Why would he do this? Is it conspiracy laden, like lizards and stuff, or are they truly afraid the US will be sued for all of their misdoings in the Middle East and abroad? Question is, people can't sue the US? I have no idea but is this a legit concern? It baffles me.
Funny enough though, we can sue Iran and find them guilty for 9/11 but apparently the House of Saud is off the table because oil, money, corruption, greed?
Trump, if he's smart, will attack Clinton and Dems relentlessly for this!
Also, not surprisingly, this happened today, Friday.
