US Senators McCain, Graham aim to fix JASTA
2016-12-02
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two US Republican Senators - Lindsey Graham
... the endangered South Carolina RINO...
and John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution...
‐ proposed on Wednesday an amendment to the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) that was approved by the Congress in September.

They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them...
’s veto of the potential bill. If passed, JASTA would allow US citizens to sue Soddy Arabia

The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
over the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The Senators propose that foreign governments would only be held liable for terrorist attacks "if they knowingly engage with a terrorist organization directly or indirectly, including financing," Graham explained.

US-based news website Politico described the "fix" as a way to "narrow the law’s scope and reduce the likelihood that it would produce retaliatory suits against the United States."
