OMAHA (UPI) -- A Nebraska lawmaker says his lawsuit against God is perfectly valid until a judge says otherwise.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers, D-Omaha, sued the Almighty for making terrorist threats against mankind in the form of floods, earthquakes, plagues and other calamities and demand he cease and desist immediately, KETV-TV in Omaha said Wednesday.
Chambers was in court Tuesday to press his case but readily admitted it was a publicity stunt to remind his colleagues that it isn't up to politicians to limit citizens' constitutional access to the judicial system by bans on so-called frivolous lawsuits.
KETV said Chambers has taken a stand against limits on lawsuits in the past and was quoted last year saying, "Anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody -- even God."
The judge assigned to the case took the matter under advisement. Chambers told KETV he wasn't expecting a quick ruling.
