This vote had nothing to do with the 9/11 families seeking more money that the same Congress gave them soon after losing their family members to the tune of $1.8 million each.  It's an election year and shame on the 9/11 activists.  If this bill had come up on an off election year, it'd likely have failed.  President Obama and other congressional members that are concerned about future implications have a right to be concerned.  Why?  Because it's our taxpaying middle class that'll be expected to shoulder the potential financial lawsuits coming from other nations harmed by US bombings.
