The arguments are in and now it’s up to a federal judge in New York City to decide whether the momentous civil lawsuit pitting Saudi Arabia against the 9/11 wounded and families of the 2,977 dead lives or dies.

The kingdom’s essential arguments in its public statements and motion to dismiss are simple: We had nothing to do with al Qaeda’s Sept. 11, 2001 jetliner attacks on New York and Washington, and even if we did every legal claim against us should be dismissed because we are a sovereign nation and America’s courts have no jurisdiction over us.
