What was preventing them from suing the Saudi government before?
IIRC some-one in the USA successfully sued the USSR government over unpaid invoices, resulting in them being able to seize an Aeroflot plane.Last edited by Roy; 09-29-2016, 07:02 AM.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

Originally posted by seanD View PostIf you want to believe that international litigation is completely ineffectual and that everything I said in post #12 is merely symbolic posturing, knock yourself out. You've made your retarded point clear more than once. I get it already. That doesn't explain to me personally why there was immunity against this action, why Obama expressed deep concerns about it and warned of a precedence it will set with other countries, why he risked his reputation to veto it, and why there was even a bill about it in the first place. All that is just political posturing lol? Okay, bro, go for it.I'm not here anymore.

That's how I imagine it would be, especially if the country is an ally and thus has a lot assets interconnected with the US.

I'm against Obama on this one. Sue the crap out of the Saudis. They support radical Islam all over the world, and they're one of the most oppressive countries in existence.Blog: Atheism and the City
If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

Originally posted by seanD View PostThey don't just sponsor terrorism, they are the terrorists. The only distinguishable factor between them and the caricature terrorists we're brainwashed to fear and dread is that they're the upper class terrorists, and thus their actions are a whole lot more covert. Plus they get western media and neoconservative cover. Yet they're just as violent, bloodthirsty, radical, prejudice, and religiously fundamental as the lower class terrorist boogieman we're trained to fear. You'd think that our fear and hatred would be directed towards them the most since they're obviously a much bigger threat to democracy and our safety due to their wealth and power, but of course, the invested corporate interests in their assets create the necessary double standard.Blog: Atheism and the City

First victim engages in political posturing...
On Friday, September 30, a woman widowed when her husband was killed at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 became the first American to sue the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Washington DC District Court, just two days after Congress slammed Obama for siding with Saudi Arabia, overriding his presidential veto only for the first time in his administration, and enacting legislation allowing Americans to sue foreign governments for allegedly playing a role in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.
Stephanie Ross DeSimone alleged the kingdom provided material support to al-Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden. Her suit is also filed on behalf of the couple’s daughter. DeSimone was two months pregnant when her husband, Navy Commander Patrick Dunn was killed.
She is suing for wrongful death and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
In the lawsuit she alleges that "at all material times, Saudi Arabia, through its officials, officers, agents and employees, provided material support and resources to Osama bin Laden (“bin Laden”) and Al Qaeda. The support provided by Saudi Arabia to bin Laden and Al Qaeda assisted in or contributed to the preparation and execution of the September 11th attacks and the extrajudicial killing of Patrick Dunn."
