The Left and Muslim Brotherhood have created a monster.

In March of this year, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals revived our monetary judgment against the Palestinian Authority (PA) and PLO in a 3-0 decision.

The law included a provision that gave the PA 120 days to stop funding terrorists in Israeli jails, where those terrorists had killed and wounded American citizens. The PA chose — and still chooses — to pay terrorists and thus established its own standing in U.S. courts.

Since losing at the Second Circuit, the PA has been busy. They requested a hearing in front of all of the circuit’s judges (“en banc”). Denied. They requested a stay from the Court so that we could not begin collection proceedings against them. Denied. They requested from Justice Sonia Sotomayor a similar stay, which she also denied.
