8:35Now PlayingThe House has passed legislation that will allow families to sue countries responsible for the deaths of their family members. Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick), John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Michael Brooks (The Majority Report), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
Watch Michael Brooks weekdays on The Majority Report at
"The House on Friday passed legislation allowing the families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts, days before the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
The legislation passed unanimously by voice vote, to thunderous applause.
The bill, which passed the Senate unanimously in May, now heads to President Obama’s desk, where its future is uncertain.
The White House has hinted strongly it will veto the measure. Obama has lobbied fiercely against it, arguing it could both strain relations with Saudi Arabia and lead to retaliatory legislation overseas against U.S. citizens.
But lingering suspicion over Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks and pressure from victims’ families made the bill a popular bipartisan offering on Capitol Hill.
The bill’s popularity puts the president in adelicate position. Supporters are hoping Obama will be leery of expending political capital he desperately needs during the lame-duck session.”*
