| Obama administration warns US court: High cost of appealing terror verdict could topple PA |
| 2015-08-11 |
| The Obama administration urged a US judge to "carefully consider" the Palestinian Authority's financial condition in determining the size of any bond it must post to appeal a jury's finding that it supported terrorist attacks in Israel. The US Department of Justice filed a notice of interest in the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court late on Monday, after 10 American families in February won a $655 million verdict against the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority. The Justice Department said the government "strongly supports" allowing terrorism victims to vindicate their interests in court. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken nonetheless asked US District Judge George Daniels to "carefully consider" how requiring a multimillion-dollar bond could affect the Palestinian Authority's viability, given its delicate finances.

| #6 Telling a federal district judge what he can and cannot do tends to have some interesting, if unintended, consequences. |

| #3 The PA has no freaking money. All they get is the stuff we or the Europeans give them. So if anyone pays, it's going to be the US Taxpayer. |

| #2 Funny he did not say "carefully consider" when the SCOTUS was considering Obamacare or Housing decisions that cost taxpayers a few trillion. the PA won't pay even if they lose. |
