Suit against God tossed over lack of address

[Bob Juch]

LINCOLN, Neb. - A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator's lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn't properly served, because of his unlisted home address. State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God.

Two words: Frivolous lawsuit.

What a moron. It figures that he's a Democrat.

It was a stupid, frivolous lawsuit, but I applaud the judge for finding a perfectly valid legal reason to throw it out.

No, it's a political lawsuit. Reading between the lines, I'm guessing Chambers was trying to paint the judge into the corner of having to decide whether God exists. His ideal result would probably have been to get the case tossed on the ground that God doesn't exist.

It's a stupid political stunt, but it's different from a frivolous lawsuit. --Bob

I thought they only allowed God fearing people to inhabit the great state of Nebraska, let alone empower such heathens to vote on their tax increases! I forsee a stint without term limits in the Senate chamber of HELL for this politician who dares to take The Lord to court! Why the very idea of God sitting behind the defendant's table is absolutely absurd! Not even Judge Judy would have the audacity to tell The Almighty that He was out of order..... at least i don't think she would.....

But that's still a frivolous lawsuit, since the court is not literally "competent" to exercise jurisdiction in the first place. Anyway, it reminds me of the old law school chestnut:

"It ain't over till it's over." Chambers is considering an appeal. He says that the lack of an address is irrelevant since, because God is omniscient, he already knows about the suit.

Constructive notice. Clever argument. Still gonna get him nowhere, though.

Damn straight God knows about it; before time was, God knew about it. And God has got just the place prepared for this jackass.

You know I'm always willing to accept your castoffs!

Now could you please default everyone over to the Hello Kitty format for me. That would be the feather in my evil making cap!

Technically, lack of personal jurisdiction doesn't make a lawsuit frivolous. But my real point is that most people who file frivolous lawsuits are hoping use them to make money. This guy, if my speculation is correct, is hoping to lose, albeit in a particular way. --Bob
