Nebraska State Senator Sues God

Nebraska State Senator Sues God

30 June 2008 · No Comments

I had to double-check, to make sure that it wasn’t The Onion.  It’s not; seen at ABC News:

Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants."

The Omaha senator[…] also says God has caused "fearsome floods … horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes."  He’s seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.

The article at ABC provides a bit of the background behind why Chambers has filed this suit.

Sadly, the judge before whom Chambers v. God is being brought appears to lack a sense of humor, and is threatening sanctions against Senator Chambers.  I can think of a few different approaches to dismiss the case – Sovereign Immunity, separation of church and state, lack of non-hearsay evidence….
