Wrong Avenue of Relief?

Should foreigners be allowed to use American courts to sue foreign corporations for human rights atrocities committed abroad?
As noted here, yes, if there is enough of a link to this country.  I'm not sure that the "arcane 1789 law" does the trick, particularly one given a limited reach by a unanimous court not too long ago.

[Update: Somewhat strange re-argument order, underling the USSC's selective minimalism.]
