SAUDI ARABIA LAWSUITS

Saudi Arabia should just chill. In the US, if Congress passes a particularly stupid law using emotion rather than logic, the US Supreme Court steps in.

I resent giving the Saudis free legal advice. But in the interest of national security, here it is...

The new law is almost certainly an EX POST FACTO law, which is by definition unconstitutional.

The new law changes the jurisdiction of the US Federal Courts, which may also be unconstitutional.

There is a problem with the court orders on discovery being obeyed, which may preclude a lawsuit from being brought in a particular court.

Legal decisions can sometimes be based on emotion, rather than logic, but this happens way less often.

No one can continue with an unconstitutional lawsuit.

So hire the BEST constitutional lawyers around, along with the best tort defense attorneys, and follow their advice.

Maybe you will learn something about why our system works so well. The separations of power is one of the more amazing parts of our constitution.
