Republicans now blaming Obama for their unbelievable incompetence.
<snip>
WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, Congress was so determined to pass a law to sue Saudi Arabia that it overrode President Barack Obama’s veto. But possible backlash against America had top Republican leaders looking for someone else to blame Thursday.
And they appear to have settled on Obama.
The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act allows victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue the kingdom for its alleged, but unproven, support of the hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Opponents had argued that the bill was caving in to conspiracy theorists and that it would raise the specter of other nations hauling the United States into court for things it actually does — such as killing civilians in drone strikes. The White House called the override the “single most embarrassing thing that the United States Senate has done” in decades.

I was originally against the veto, because I do want to see Saudi Arabia pay for their complicity in 9/11.
But, wiser heads convinced me that the law has UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, so, I changed my mind.
If Republicans had done their due diligence, they would have known this IN THE FIRST PLACE.
After all, that's THEIR JOB!!
