    The Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would allow victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to sue Saudi Arabia, defying vocal opposition from the White House.

    The upper chamber approved the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act by unanimous consent.

    White House press secretary Josh Earnest reiterated Obama's opposition to the bill on Tuesday.

    “Given the concerns we have expressed, it’s difficult to imagine the president signing this legislation,” Earnest said.

    Hopefully it will be all women juries deciding the cases.
