Will Iraqis start suing the United States? Libyans? Syrians? I can see this possibly being an expensive back and forth.
Presumably this legislation lets Americans use our courts to sue foreign governments over terrorism.
Such a bill has no bearing one way or the other on what a foreign country chooses to do in their own courts. Our Supreme Court may like to use international law as precedent but that’s because they’re stupid liberals, not because that is legally binding.
I believe Arab dictators have already sued the U.S. or our leaders in their own courts and found us guilty on other occasions.
Yeah and lawyers will be the big winners! I’m not sure how I feel about this as a whole.
“Will Iraqis start suing the United States? Libyans? Syrians? I can see this possibly being an expensive back and forth.”
Wow. This could be the opening salvo for the greatest national redistribution of wealth in the history of humanity.
And it’s perfect.
We set the precedent. Then we’re sued and money goes to the poor middle eastern nations. Then Africans sue us for giving them AIDS and perceived racism and the globalist politicians happily pay out. Then the EU is sued for their part in medication prices and they happily tax the hell out of the Europeans to pay off an entire continent...
Oh, this is a globalist’s wet dream.
Every single leftist grievance could be addressed with this policy.
And we would’ve been the ones who cheered it into existence.
Just freakin’ lovely.
