Chris Stigall: Obama Only Wants Terrorists To Have Access To Courts

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - On Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Chris Stigall responded to a Congressional override of President Obama's veto of a bill that would allow 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia for damages caused by the attack by questioning why the President wants to give suspected terrorists access to the court system, but not the victims of terrorism.

 

"Obama always seems to step up for people defending on themselves on the terrorists side. That's my observation. When it comes to somebody being accused or found guilty in courts of law or being tried in courts of law for terrorism, he always seems very, very quick to rush to their aid and defense. He always seems to be on the opposing side of everything American families want to do to get retribution on terrorists in courts."

He believes the President wants to grant special access to suspects accused of terrorism that he doesn't think the victims deserve.

"He's always happy to make our courts accessible to terrorists. He wants to close Gitmo to make our courts accessible to terrorism. That's what he wants. It's what he's wanted all along. But, this system is not good enough for American families."
