A day after the House and Senate overwhelmingly voted to override President Obama's veto, GOP leaders are expressing reservations about legislation that would allow lawsuits related to 9/11 to go forward against Saudi Arabia.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) both said they were open to discussions about changing the bill, which Congress approved unanimously.
"I do think it's worth further discussions, but it was certainly not something that was going to be fixed this week," McConnell told reporters on Thursday. McConnell also criticized the lack of a discussion about "the potential consequences" of a very "popular bill."
Ryan agreed that Congress may need to "fix" the legislation but said he wasn't sure when that would happen.

From the OP's link -
So this is Obama's fault?
Does Touche Turtle really believe that the Obama administration drafted that bill, submitted it to him and Eddie Munster to schedule votes on, lobbied for both chambers to pass it, only to have him then veto it, and encourage them to override the veto?
Really??????
Is not the Senate's role to "Advise and consent"? Where was THEIR "advice" instead of continuing their habit of blindly doing everything the opposite of what the President would like them to do?
He'll say "yes" and they immediately say "no". So then he'll say, "okay no" and they will knee-jerk to say "yes!".
3 1/2 months left for Obama to be in office and the ODS continues to be over the top.
