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."

Sounds like a moron to me.
God says: “I’ll come before your court if you come before mine.”
Politicians aren’t known for their intelligence.
Sad. Strange. Stupid.
Shrug.
Wasn’t this guy the DA in Durham NC?
What a moonbat.
This nut should be made to pay all court costs for wasting the court's time and resources.
I honestly think that God is laughing.
If I were that dude I would be seriously skeered at the rumble of thunder or any sign of lightening.
If Chambers gets a good old fashioned smiting like he’s begging for, will the county sheriff put out an arrest warrant for murder?
Now that George Burns is dead, Morgan Freeman will have to show up as the defendant.
So how’s he going to serve papers?
What a butt-munch, this Ernie guy. I know atheists that have more respect and integrity than this guy...
Point B. It will be interesting to see which denomination will be held as liable.
While anyone can “file” a suit, nothing in the Constitution requires a court to prosecute it. The judiciary used to do a better job of telling the idiots to take their beef to the people and the lawmakers, and leave the courts to adjudicate the laws that people of written. In as much as no court can either find, or declare representation for “God” or obtain “redress” from God, such a suit is not merely “frivilous”, it shows the Senator to be an idiot.
I am wondering if public acts of insanity are grounds for impeachment.
“He says the suit is to fight possible laws restricting the filing of frivolous lawsuits.”
How can the people of Nebraska elect such dopes? And at what point does the average guy revolt over these fools?
If he an atheist?
