Cartoons: litigation time

Today I'm taking a glance at JASTA, the recent legislation that allows 9/11 victims to sue foreign states for injury, death, or damages; and at Wells Fargo, the dastardly swindler of unsuspecting customers.

Since the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, aka the 9/11 law, passed, why not use it to sue Congress for inaction on gun legislation? The litigants would have to prove Congress is a foreign state--not that hard. Just sayin'.

Seems to me Wells Fargo is not that different from any other U.S. bank. They just got caught.
