Nebraska Democratic State Senator Ernie Chambers has decided to go straight to the top in an effort to stop natural disasters from befalling the world.

Chambers filed a lawsuit against God in Douglas County Court Friday afternoon, KPTM Fox 42 reported.

The suit asks for a "permanent injunction ordering Defendant to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats."

The lawsuit identifies the plaintiff as, "the duly elected and serving State Senator from the 11th Legislative District in Omaha, Nebraska."

Chambers also cites that the, "defendant directly and proximately has caused, inter alia, fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornados, pestilential plagues..."

Chambers says he isn't suing God because he has any kind of beef with the deity. He says the suit is to fight possible laws restricting the filing of frivolous lawsuits. Chambers tells KPTM FOX 42 News that his lawsuit is in response to bills brought forth by other state senators to try and stop lawsuits from being filed.

"The Constitution requires that the courthouse doors be open, so you cannot prohibit the filing of suits," Chambers says. "Anyone can sue anyone they choose, even God."

Chambers bases his ability to sue God, as, "that defendant, being omnipresent, is personally present in Douglas County."

If I remember correctly, Chambers is a retired minister isn't he?

I also like how he said he won't have to serve papers, because he already knows. He should be a little afraid that God will actually show up to defend himself.

"The Man Who Sued God" starring Billy Connelly....great movie.

I was surprised there was a lot of coverage on it on the web. I would say the senator found a loophole.

I say he is nuts!

It's guys like this that give Democrats a bad name.

I've often said the best way to stop frivilous lawsuits is establish a law that says, "If you file a frivilous lawsuit and lose, you pay court costs and legal fees for youself AND the defendant".

And before some smartass writes in with "Define frivilous lawsuit", well, I think they're usually pretty obvious.

Im from Nebraska, Hes doing it in protest of a judges ruling in a rape case that the female cannot use the word rape or forced sex during the trial, he is actually a very bright man

It's Democrats that give Democrats a bad name.

...and Bushco that gives Republicans a bad name. Good thing more and more of them are realizing that now.

The topic was Democrats and a bad name, but I guess you can't stick to any topic without chanting your mantra. Pathetic indeed.

No, forge, the topic was a frivilous lawsuit against God.

You're a truly pathetic, bitter old fool.

I feel very sorry for you.
