Really, what kind of Jackasses make our laws? Answer, the kind that the
voters keep sending
to Washington.

WASHINGTON — The White House blasted what it called "rapid onset buyer's
remorse" after House and Senate
leaders conceded problems with the 9/11 lawsuit bill Congress just
enacted into law over President Obama's veto.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., suggested that the House might take up
a bill to fix problems with the Justice Against
Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA, after it comes back from its
election recess. *He acknowledged Obama's concerns that **
**the bill could subject U.S. service members to lawsuits in foreign
courts.*
"So I'd like to think that there's a way we could fix so that our
service members do not have legal problems overseas, while
still protecting the rights of the 9/11 victims, which is what JASTA did
do," Ryan told reporters Thursday.
*"Nobody really had focused on the potential downside in terms of our
international relationships," Senate Majority Leader **
**Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. "I think it was just a ball dropped."*
*Even as they voted to override the veto, 28 senators asked the sponsors
of the bill to mitigate the "unintended consequences of the bill."*
