Nebraska Senator Sues God — Successful Suit Could End Need for Estate Planning

Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit against God last week claiming that He has caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”

Sen. Chambers is seeking a permanent injunction against God.  If he is successful, God would prohibited from allowing people to die or become disabled thus ending the need for estate planning.

It appears, however, the Chambers does not actually expect victory.  Instead, he brought this suit to protest a federal suit filed against a judge who recently prohibited the use of the words “rape” and “victim” in a sexual assault trial.
