#1 Exactly how does the right to file a civil suit against a foreign government lead to detention of our citizens?

It's like Iran detaining your sailors.

#2 These yucks in the Obama administration seem to think they have credibility when speaking as if they have concerns for America.

#3 Speaking about Imprisonment Of U.S. Officials. Who should go first: Koskinen or Comey?

#4 John Brennan, the noted Saudi catamite, issues a warning.

#5 After nearly eight years the congress asserts itself with the first congressional override. Must have been absolutely shocking to puppet master Brennan.

#6 I read a WSJ article by John Bolton and Michael Mukasey a couple weeks back about the downsides to breaching sovereign immunity.

Hopefully the JASTA bill/act won't lead to the dangers these gentlemen describe, but when Dems sign on to something like this (especially Schumer) my 'Spider Sense' goes on alert.

#7 I can think of several U.S. Officials that need to be imprisoned.

#8 ...yeah, its sort of a feature, not a bug. So Barack you carried out a war without Congressional authorization or compliance with your own War Powers Act?

#9 At first and second blush, this seems like a good idea. There is a lot of house cleaning that needs to be done here at home. I thought the families of the Lockerbie bombing sued Daffy. I looked it up and found that a settlement agreement was brokered. Each family received about $10M.

#10 Well, Brennan was the CIA Station Chief in the KSA.

His ox is about to get gored.

BTW - the Saudis have been sooo helpful in the fight against AQ and ISIS...good ole Prince Bandar's personal funds provided lodging and sustenance for a couple of the 9/11 hijacker pilots...Saudi funds roll into AQ and ISIS coffers on a regular basis.

Brennan speaks for the Saudis, not us.

#11 They, (the Globalists) will find a Judge to rule the legislation is not legal, just like they did against the PLO victims.

#12 Logic doesn't seem to be one of his strengths. AFAIK, US Policy is that anyone can play whatever legal games that want until they decide to enforce them. At that point they are firmly rebuffed with statements (threats?) involving words like sanctions and/or military force.
