• affirming district court’s discretionary decision to sever plaintiffs where “the case had become something of a nightmare” and “increasingly unmanageable”
• noting how a “lack of personal jurisdiction will bar some suits over which the federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction”
• affirming district court’s decision not to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over foreign-law claim based on “extraordinary inconvenience and expenditure of judicial resources involved in hearing the Israeli law wrongful death claim”
• “There can be little doubt that the ATS permits federal courts to assert jurisdiction over hot-button matters of international law.”
• “[T]he ATS does not broadly provide for causes of action. The federal courts are empowered to open the door only ‘to a narrow class’ of claims.”
