Obama claimed the money he sent to Iranian terrorists was from the money belonging to the Shah that was frozen in 1979.And nowhere in that did it say the SC ruled anything.
You have inadvertently proven what I said. You as easy as taking wheat from blind chickens.
Obama had no right to "resolve the lon-running dispute over frozen assets." SCOTUS finally resolved the long-running dispute
The Obama administration has said the $400 million payment, and another $1.3 billion paid in interest, wasn’t ransom but was part of a deal to resolve the long-running dispute over frozen assets once controlled by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The cash transfer, besides resolving the financial standoff, helped seal a nuclear agreement the U.S. and its allies negotiated with Iran’s leaders. White House officials also have said they hoped the deal might lead Iran to moderate its behavior.
Here is how the "long-running dispute" was legally resolved, 2 months after Obama jumped the gun for unlawful reasons.

Supreme Court rules in favor of terror victims

WashingtonCNN —
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in favor of victims of terrorism and their families in a 6-2 split, clearing the way for them to collect nearly $2 billion from the central bank of Iran.
The court decided Congress had not exceeded its authority when it passed a law aimed specifically at securing such restitution.
“(The law) provides a new standard clarifying that, if Iran owns certain assets, the victims of Iran-sponsored terrorist attacks will be permitted to execute against those assets,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing the majority. “Applying laws implementing Congress’ policy judgments, with fidelity to those judgments, is commonplace for the Judiciary.”
