Bill allowing 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia heads to Obama's desk By REBECCA SHABAD CBS NEWS September 9, 2016, 12:23 PM Newly elected Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan (R-WI) (C) speaks to the assembled House after being elected as the new Speaker in Washington October 29, 2015. REUTERS/GARY CAMERON Comment Share Tweet Stumble Email The House approved legislation Friday by voice vote that would allow families of 9/11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia, CBS News has confirmed. In May, the Senate passed the measure, which was sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chuck Schumer, D-New York. The White House has expressed opposition to the bill. Speaking to CBS News’ Charlie Rose in April, President Obama warned that the bill could have consequences that would, for example, allow people in other countries to sue the U.S. “This is a matter of how generally the United States approaches our interactions with other countries. If we open up the possibility that individuals and the United States can routinely start suing other governments, then we are also opening up the United States to being continually sued by individuals in other countries,” Mr. Obama said at the time. The bill’s passage comes before the 15th anniversary Sunday of the 2001 attacks that killed thousands in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. Even if Mr. Obama vetoes the bill, it’s possible Congress might have the votes to override his veto.

Minnesota Democrats are suing to kick Donald Trump off the state's ballot By: Josh King Minnesota Democrats are suing to kick Donald Trump off the state's general election ballot. In their lawsuit, Democrats claim the Republican Party of Minnesota failed to nominate the 10 alternates needed for the electoral college. State law says electors and their alternates have to be nominated at an official convention by the Secretary of State. The Democrats allege Republicans missed the August 29th deadline and want a judge to give the Secretary of State authorization to remove Trump and Pence from the ballot. Donald Trump and Mike Pence on the campaign trail since the RNC Whether Trump's name is on the ballot or not, it probably won't matter in the heavily blue-leaning state. Minnesotans haven't voted for a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972, almost 45 years ago. According to the latest Morning Consult Poll report Clinton holds a slight 4 point lead over Trump in Minnesota. Related: See Trump at the RNC:
