Senate votes to override Obama’s veto of 9/11 lawsuit bill | New York Post

Saudi Arabia is staunchly opposed to the measure.

Senators voted 97-1 to override Obama’s veto. The lone “no” vote was Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

A House vote on Obama’s veto was expected later in the day Wednesday. If the House also overrides, the bill becomes law. During his nearly two terms in office, Obama has never had a veto overridden by Congress.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest on Wednesday called the Senate's override vote on legislation that would allow the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia the "most embarrassing thing" the legislative body has done in decades.

The House overturned the veto later Wednesday afternoon, which put the measure into law.

Guess Josh hasn't looked in the mirror lately.

Yeah, "most embarrassing thing" for Obama! I hope Saudi Arabia tries pulling some kind of economic retaliation or tries denying us use of their air bases. Then we can stop buying and protecting their oil, retract the arms deal congress just approved and otherwise tell them to go screw a hog.

I wonder if that cop ultimately got in trouble? The kind of arogance that Saudi displayed is infuriating! Glad they took him down.

Obama would be perfectly happy with $12.00/gal fuel oil and $1.00/KWh electricity. It would force all those pesky flyover people into the cities he loves so much.
