State Sen. Ernie Chambers Sues God

OMAHA, Neb -- State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God. He said on Monday 
that it is to prove a point about frivolous lawsuits.

Chambers said senators periodically have offered bills prohibiting the 
filing of certain types of suits. He said his main objection is that the 
constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all.

"Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody -- even God," Chambers 
said.

Chambers said he decided to file the lawsuit after a suit was filed in 
early September in federal court against Lancaster County Judge Jeffre 
Cheuvront. He's the judge who was hearing a sexual assault case in which 
the plaintiff wants to use the words rape and victim during her testimony.

Chambers lawsuit, which was filed on Friday in Douglas County Court, seeks 
a permanent injunction ordering God to cease certain harmful activities 
and the making of terroristic threats.

The lawsuit admits God goes by all sorts of alias, names, titles and 
designations and it also recognizes the fact that the defendant is 
omnipresent.

In the lawsuit, Chambers said he's tried to contact God numerous times.

"Plaintiff, despite reasonable efforts to effectuate personal service upon 
defendant 'Come out, come out, wherever you are,' has been unable to do 
so,'" Chambers said.

The suit also requests that the court, given the peculiar circumstances of 
this case, waive personal service. It said that being omniscient, the 
plaintiff assumes God will have actual knowledge of the action.

The lawsuit accuses God "of making and continuing to make terroristic 
threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of 
Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent." It says God has 
caused "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, 
terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating 
droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like."

The suit also says God has caused "calamitous catastrophes resulting in 
the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon 
millions of the Earth’s inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, 
children, the aged and infirm without mercy or distinction."

Chambers also says God "has manifested neither compassion nor remorse, 
proclaiming that defendant will laugh" when calamity comes.

Chambers asks for the court to grant him a summary judgment. He said as an 
alternative, he wants the judge to set a date for a hearing as 
expeditiously as possible and enter a permanent injunction enjoining God 
from engaging in the types of deleterious actions and the making of 
terroristic threats described in the lawsuit.
