House Judiciary likely to hold hearing on bill in near future. No floor movement planned yet. https://t.co/OTDAVGZYnr— Alex Moe (@AlexNBCNews) May 17, 2016
WH continues to strongly oppose legislation just passed by Senate, 9-11 families can sue the Saudis. House not planning to take up bill yet— Kristin Donnelly (@kristindonnelly) May 17, 2016
Can anyone explain to me why the government has to even give the citizens permission to be able to access the judicial branch? I am unable to understand this in light of the constitution.

Nico, if I recall correctly, this has to do with diplomatic immunity and its concomitant privileges. Hopefully, the govt will release the report soon to help the families' attorneys prosecute the cases.
ReplyDeleteI see. Thanks Pete.
