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."
