Congress Votes to Override Obama Veto on 9/11 Victims Bill

WASHINGTON — Congress on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to override a veto by President Obama for the first time, passing into law a bill that would allow the families of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for any role in the plot.
Democrats in large numbers joined with Republicans to deliver a remarkable rebuke to the president. The 97-to-1 vote in the Senate and the 348-to-77 vote in the House displayed the enduring power of the Sept. 11 families in Washington and the diminishing influence here of the Saudi government.
DYI Comments:  Its about time not just for the families for redress of grievances but there will be right of discovery that will show Saudi involvement.  Let's hope lawsuits are filed immediately!
