I’d like to see the allegations of jurisdiction over Him,

I want to see him serve the papers. ;~))

I’m pretty sure he’s doing this to prove a point about frivolous law suits. Extreme tort reform, anyone?

Ernie Chambers, “the angriest black man in Nebraska, is one of the biggest d-bags you’ll ever run across. Why the people in his district continue to appointment him, I have no idea. The dude has worn the same sleevless sweatshirt everyday of his entire career. He drives an old beat up Pinto or something and regularly does stupid things like this.

I wonder what he’s been smoking.

At least it would be an excuse. Otherwise, he should be removed from office for mental incompetence.

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.

This could backfire....

You sure Johnny isn’t in a more tropical location?

Might have better luck with Jackie Chiles.

re: # 29 If I were that dude I would be seriously skeered at the rumble of thunder or any sign of lightening.

I don't know about that. The courts helped a bunch of bureaucrats foul up one of God's plans once before.

THE LORD AND NOAH

The Lord speaks to Noah and says:

"In one year I am going to make it rain and cover the whole earth with water until all is destroyed. But I want you to save the righteous people and two of every kind of living thing on the earth. Therefore, I am commanding you to build an Ark." In a flash of lightning, God delivered the specifications for an Ark.

Fearful and trembling, Noah took the plans and agreed to build the Ark "Remember," said the Lord, "You must complete the Ark and bring everything aboard in one year."

Exactly one year later, a fierce storm cloud covered the earth and the Lord saw Noah sitting in his front yard weeping "Noah." He shouted, "Where is the Ark?"

"Lord please forgive me!" cried Noah. "I did my best, but there were big problems:

"First, I had to get a permit for construction and your plans did not comply with the codes. I had to hire an engineering firm and redraw the plans.

"Then I got into a fight with OSHA over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system and floatation devices.

"Then my neighbor objected, claiming I was violating zoning ordinances by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission.

"I had problems getting enough wood for the Ark, because there was a ban on cutting trees to protect the Spotted Owl. I finally convinced the U.S. Forest Service that I needed the wood to save the owls. However, the Fish and Wildlife Service won't let me catch any owls. So, no owls.

"The carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Union. Now I have 16 carpenters on the Ark, but still no owls.

"When I started rounding up the other animals, I got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me only taking two of each kind aboard.

"Just when I got the suit dismissed, the EPA notified me that I could not complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn't take very kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of the Creator of the universe.

"Then the Army Corps of Engineers demanded a map of the proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe.

"Right now, I am trying to resolve a complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that I am practicing discrimination by not taking godless, unbelieving people aboard!

"The IRS has seized all my assets, claiming that I'm building the Ark in preparation to flee the country to avoid paying taxes.

"I just got a notice from the state that I owe some kind of user tax and failed to register the Ark as a "recreational water craft."

"Finally the ACLU got the courts to issue an injunction against further construction of the Ark, saying that since God is flooding the earth, it is a religious event, therefore unconstitutional.

"I really don't think I can finish the Ark for another 5 or 6 years!" Noah wailed."

The sky began to clear, the sun began to shine and the seas began to calm. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up hopefully. "You mean you are not going to destroy the earth, Lord?"

"No," said the Lord sadly. "The government already has." Linda Gimnich

RE: 51

The Noah incident just goes to prove that there have been and still are a bunch of nutso "public servants" floating around all over the place.

That may be the case, but as God can do anything he wants to, drafting Mr. Cochran for such a purpose wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.

When I read this article, my first thought was, “Gotta be Ernie Chambers.” Yep, I was right. I lived in Omaha for 4 years and he’s the Jesse Jackson of Nebraska. He represents the northeast portion of Omaha, which is all African-American, for the PC Freepers, and “black” for the rest of the Freepers. He lives for this and does this all the time, so this is par for the course. By the way, the most poverty ridden African-Americans in the U.S. are in Omaha. Way to go Ernie!!! Now you know why this guy is re-elected each year.

The only thing that mitigates against your point is he is on the Democrat side...

Ernie Chambers is a well-known buffoon in NE. He represents the slummy part of Omaha, and wears ragged sweatshirts on the house floor. he’s a loud-mouthed rabble rousing scumbag of the jackson-sharpton variety. Most Nebraskans are rightfully ashamed of him, even though they have a tendancy to elect some real dopes, Hagel, Kerrey, etc.

Sounds like? lol If only there were a way to grab losers like that and simply throw them out of office before they embarrass the country any further!
