doug mckelway joins us live from capitol hill. how is the vote counting going, doug? reporter: the debate is still going on. we expect the vote at 12 noon today but the senate is most poised at this point to override a presidential veto for the first time in the history of the obama administration. the house set to act later this week. a similar result is expected there. the jasta bill would allow 9/11 families to sue foreign governments involved in attacks here in the united states. evolved from growing evidence that saudi arabia government or members of the saudi arabia family mayhave been tangentially involved in the 9/11 attacks but bill made for really strange bedfellows and awkward political estrangements. when was last time you saw liberal democratic senator blumenthal of connecticut vote against anything that president obama has done? he is doing just that when it comes to the jasta bill. >> i deeply respect the president. and the reasons that he has given for vetoing the justice against sponsors of terrorism act but i urge my colleagues to move swiftly and so
