That would be our companies' problem for choosing to business under such a climate. Look, I couldn't care less whether we stick it to Saudi Arabia or are best friends with them, but if the 911 families can win in court against the Saudi government, they deserve the opportunity to have that chance.
Okay, so here's how this works: The 9/11 families sue the government of Saudi Arabia in U.S. federal court. No one from Saudi Arabia shows up to court. The 9/11 families get a default judgment against Saudi Arabia. Technically the 9/11 families "win," but good luck collecting on that judgment. So nobody gets their "day in court" proving their claims against the Saudi government. Therefore, even as a symbolic gesture, this bill is useless.
