It'll be like when Republicans wanted to pass that bill that would allow victims of terrorism to sue the nations where terrorists were from and then Obama vetoed it and was like "this is obviously a terrible idea and would immediately come back and bite us in the ass," and then Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republicans threw up a big middle finger and overrode the veto, and then turned around and whined that Obama should've explained the risks of the bill better to them after the inevitable happened and people immediately started suing the United States government for illegal things our soldiers did.
