Obama: ‘If we let Americans sue Saudis for 9/11, foreigners will begin suing US...

The courts do have power over funds held in US Institutions. The US Courts can freeze assets.

And Congress seems to forget that no country commits acts more often that most certainly could be the basis of a lawsuit than the US.This bill could be the biggest Foreign Aid bill ever passed.Edited by jar, : addaline

Which would be a real test of this court to see if the Constitution really has any validity. The issue will likely end up on the somewhat annoying fact that the Constitution specifies that there are three, not one, sources of supreme authority of the law in the US, the Constitution, Treaties and laws passed by Congress.

The laws allow actions that were not allowed in the past. It was not illegal to sue sovereign nations, it was simply not possible, there was no process or procedure to do that. The new law created a process to sue sovereign nations.Truly stupid move.

Like I said, this could finally be the solution to the US's traditional lack of providing foreign aid.The solution though is really simple, the Congress need only add an "I'm rubber, you're glue; whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you" clause to the bill.
