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."

I don’t know, I think God has got some pretty good lawyers on his side.
Next, the EPA will want an environmental impact statement and zoning clearance for that “new heaven and new earth” that God is thinking of putting in.
Come on, where is God gonna find a lawyer?
Dim of course.
I'm thinking the Big Guy is going to have to go offshore to find representation ... perhaps to a country where the climate is quite a bit hotter.
But did he get good service?
I’d like to see the allegations of jurisdiction over Him, as well as the allegations as to subject matter jurisdiction. Maybe God will file a Rule 11 sanctions motion against this guy.
Ummm, That sure looks like an oxymoron to me. Now if he sued Satan I'm sure he has his pick of trial lawyers....
Fortunately for this retard, stupidity is not against the law or he would be on death row awaiting the needle.
Who needs lawyers? A couple of well-placed lightning strikes should persuade the idiot to drop the suit, I’d think. Or a personal visit from an archangel. Kind of makes me wish God had an archangel named Guido.
He's got Johnny Cochran.
This oughtta be good...
Bailiff: "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
God: "So help me, me."
God will probably defend himself. I think finding a lawyer in heaven is like finding that neele in a haystack.
Bush refuses to have the US ratify Kyoto, and suddenly it's God's fault that the world's gone haywire?
