" If you believe in God, you'd know he wasn't subject to human laws, and thus the lawsuit was useless. If you didn't believe in God, you think Ernie was insane to file suit against someone that didn't even exist. Either way, he comes off looking like he's in the early stages of senile dementia. Thank God (if he exists) and the voters for term limits so we can get the insane members out of the legislature. "

" Listening to KLIN's Drive-time Lincoln show, tonight, I heard the host ridicule Ernie Chamber's action. I was pleased to see the attention that he gave this story, though - it shows that he was upset. If one looks beyond the surface of the story, one finds that Ernie Chambers is challenging the core beliefs of the social right. Can any of you prove that God has NOT been responsible for much of the pain and suffering that humans endure? Of course not, you can not even PROVE that God exists. I think that its a good thing to have faith in the goodness and existance of God. But I and maybe Ernie too, are a little tired of many peoples' knee-jerk reactions to lots of issues with their sole UNTHINKING excuse being "because my bible says so" or "my pope says so". Who have you out-sourced your faith and reasoning to? "

" Wow, he has completely lost it now! Thank God for term limits! See ya Ernie. "

" boy, it's high time to see ernie hit the road. "

" Could we add Harvey, Steve and Bill and make it a class action lawsuit to protect the fine people of this state. "

" Pure Genious. I can't wait for all the uneducated christian racists to comment now. It is going to be epic. 90% of you won't even know what the heck is going on or why he did this because you don't understand the law. And you know you will turn this in to a race issue because heaven forbit a black educated man be smarter than the Nebraska white man. "

" You may not know me, but I know everything about you. I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I amfamiliar with all your ways. Even the very hairs on your head are numbered. For you were made in my image. In me you live and move and have your being. For you are my offspring. I knew you even before you were conceived. I chose you when I planned creation. You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book. I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I knit you together in your mother's womb. And brought you forth on the day you were born. I have been misrepresented by those who don't know me. I am not distant and angry, but am the complete expression of love. And it is my desire to lavish my love on you. Simply because you are my child and I am your Father. I offer you more than your earthly father ever could. For I am the perfect father. Every good gift that you receive comes from my hand. For I am your provider and I meet all your needs. My plan for your future has always been filled with hope. Because I love you with an everlasting love. My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore. And I rejoice over you with singing. I will never stop doing good to you. For you are my treasured possession.I desire to establish you with all my heart and all my soul. And I want to show you great and marvelous things. If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me. Delight in me and I will give you the desires of your heart. For it is I who gave you those desires. I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine. For I am your greatest encourager. I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles. When you are brokenhearted, I am close to you. As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to my heart. One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes.And I'll take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth. I am your Father, and I love you even as I love my son, Jesus. For in Jesus, my love for you is revealed. He is the exact representation of my being. He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you. And to tell you that I am not counting your sins.Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled. His death was the ultimate expression of my love for you. I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love. If you receive the gift of my son Jesus, you receive me. And nothing will ever separate you from my love again. Come home and I'll throw the biggest party heaven has ever seen. I have always been Father, and will always be Father.My question is…Will you be my child? Ernie: I am waiting for you. ~GOD "

" Chambers did everything he could to spring convicted rapist (and murderer) Willy Otey and now he's doing it again on behalf of a guy charged with rape (who is, for the record, innocent until proven guilty). An athiest sues God to make a point. That's what we call "abuse of process." BTW, in his written opinion even Judge Kopf expressed bafflement about the gag order on the use of certain words in the state criminal trial. "

" Chambers has completely fallen over the edge of the cliff....mentally!! Have you noticed over the years that with Ernie everything is about "me," he is "always right," and he has "no respect" for other people!! Chambers reminds me of O.J. Simpson...in that he is incapble of feeling, compasion or love. What went wrong Ernie? "

" Ya wonder why Nebraska has such a reputation. This article about sueing God is in the news papers and on TV channels coast to coast ALREADY!!!!! I just read it in a bunch of news and on National News. Nothing like Nebraska being the butt of all laughs!!! How can you be proud of a state like Nebraska??!! "

" That a state senator could so friviously make such a law suit shows it's long since time he leave office. I for one voted for term limits so that people like Mr. Chambers could no longer have a public forum for his twisted ideals. Perhaps Mr. Chambers would do well to remember God has brought many miracles to this sadly evil world and I would ask Mr. Chambers to prove that it was God who sent the trials and tribulations, terroristic weather and whatever other nonsense he is claiming. My opionion is that the devil is much more likely the blame and he ought to be the topic of this stupid lawsuit. I would encouage Ernie to read the messages below and get the point! I am truely baffeled that an educated man could act so ignorately! "

" That's my Ernie. I was around in '71 (I believe.. tho it could have been '70) when he got elected. He does have some good points. You just have to get past him kicking you in the teeth when he makes his points, that's all. I'm gonna miss him. "

" This is another one of Ernie's attempts to draw attention to himself. Is there anyone who honestly takes stock in what Ernie says or does? This lawsuit is a waste of tax money!!!! It doesn't really matter what you or I think about Ernie, judgment day is coming, there's only one ULTIMATE Judge who matters. Amen!!! There's still hope/time for you Ernie! "

" Hahaha... not that I agree with this mind you but I do find humor in it. Ernie is just trying to make a point in a very cynical way. I'm glad that we have people like Ernie Chambers who are willing to stand up for the downtrodden. Yes, he will be taken out next year but so are alot of other members of the legislature. In many cases that will be a good thing. "

" Here's an idea....let's all get together and bring a class action suit against Chambers......for violating our right to an idiot-free legislature! Can't wait till that one talks the long walk out the capital doors. Bye-bye, Ernie! yeah! "

" Even though I have moved out of the state I am so happy to be from Nebraska if not for this alone. AWESOME! ! ! You uppity christian Nebraskans need him for this kind of stuff to git y'all worked up over. Fantastic. And posting that bible blather in the comments here and signing in as "GOD" is just too hilarious. "

" I think senator Chambers is perfectly "capble" of feeling love, he's trying to make people think which is as noble as it is hopeless especially in this state. "

" Does anyone even understand that why Ernie did this? You do know this is somewhat of a way to show people how dumb lawsuits are...right? You do get that when you make fun of Ernie for such a dumb lawsuit that...well...that's kind of the rest of us making fun of you. Also, if God really did post on this message board, He has some pretty terrible sentance structure and punctuation. "

" Nice move. All Ms. Bowen has has to do in this entire ordeal is trust the jury to make a decision. Instead of trusting the decision of the Jury, she continues to malinger in the judiciary process seeking to get her own way regardless of the procedural rules put in place. Chambers illustrates this with his lawsuit. Ms. Bowen's case has been ruled on, then declared a mistrial again through her own actions, yet she compromises her case and credibility again by filing a lawsuit against the judge that would her her case. Because of the exposure she has brought on herself this judge-shopping will compromise her ability to get her case heard in most any jurisdiction and damages other womens that don't have the money to hire a lawyer to drag the process out. She simply needed to follow the rules, which, for a college educated pre-law student, shouldn't have been that hard to follow. Chamber's lawsuit illustrates that anyone, no matter how absurd, can file a lawsuit for anything that they want in NE, tying up the process and hindering those with legitimate cases. The sheer absurdity of suing god merely illustrates his point. In most other states this has been tried before and would not have been allowed at all now because the states changed the rules. "

" One would think that even Ernie would understand that the court system in this and every other state is over-burdened with silly suits. This only adds to the problems that are ALREADY there. It's just a publicity stunt to keep his name in the forefront and on the evening news shows. What a load of garbage. Doesn't he have better things to do with his time???? Like maybe passing a bill to actually HELP people. NO....Instead he's running off at the mouth, as usual, and NOT accomplishing a lot. I have to agree.....THANK GOODNESS FOR TERM LIMITS. Maybe whoever takes Ernies' place will actually pay attention to his voters and not be so concerned with keeping his name in the public eye. "

" I just love it. All these people that think Ernie is insane can't see the brilliance of the man. The lawsuit is intended to show that you can sue anything and anyone for anything. Is that guy guilty of rape? I have no idea but remember, the first trial ended in a hung jury. Evidently, there wasn't enough evidence to convince all the jurors. Just because Ernie is out of the legislature for the time being, doesn't mean he will be quiet. You haven't heard the last of him. BTW, did you know he has a law degree? He knows the law and how to use it to make his point. "

" If you would have read the article, Ernie is showing that anyone can file a lawsuit. He is proving a point, not saying God is good or bad. Why don't you critics try to READ the facts before you spout off. I don't care if you like Ernie or not, he's showing the absurdity of the legal system we have today. No wonder people think Nebraskans are a bunch of idiots. "

" Sen Chambers has completely lost it now. For years we have watched him ramble on, from being the first to cry racist on several issues to trying to get a convicted rapist off, and now trying to sue God. Mr. Chambers has now become an embarassment to the State of Nebraska and should not wait until his term expires. He should resign NOW..... "

" Maybe he just watched the movie "The Man who Sued God" and got the idea from there??? "

" Mr. Chambers, one day you will have your day in His court. Get prepared. Job 38:2-3 “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words? Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them." "

" I can see he doesn't have anything better to do than question christianity. And he represents who? Doesn't do much for the cause to have such a representative that can't even be taken seriously. "

" I understand why Chambers is doing this, but would he be doing it if the defendant in the rape case was not a minority? Why does he not consider white women minorities in need of protection from the state? "

" Heh, heh. This is pretty funny. GAWD, I'm going to miss Ernie Chambers! Love him or hate him, he sure gets Nebraskans riled up, doesn't he? I disagree with him about many things, but we've been VERY lucky to have him in the Unicameral. He would be terrible if he were in charge, if everyone was like him, but as a gadfly, he can't be beat. Now, what about this lawsuit? Well, since there's absolutely no evidence 'God' has ever done anything, good or bad - or that he even exists - I'd say this complaint has no merit. You can't sue your imaginary friend. But it's still pretty funny. "

" Ernie Chambers is my hero!!! (I'm not joking) "

" You'd think God, above, wouldn't use sentence fragments or have to worry about typos. Methinks it is an impostor. It actually appears Ernie is likely to win this suit, because there are no lawyers in heaven for him to hire. "

" Chambers did this for publicity. He is looking for a new job and needs to get his name out there. I'd like to sue Ernie for wasting the states time and money, and destroying any integrity the title Senator carried prior to his slithering into the system. "

" What's really sad is how many people here tossed in comments attacking Chambers without ever reading past the headline. I guess ignorance is bliss, huh? Chambers clearly spells out his intent is to draw attention to the law, and the rights of Americans to file civil lawsuits (and of efforts by Repuglicans to restrict, limit, even ban, such rights, which the Founding Fathers considered critical). Oh, and on the merits of his lawsuit? Well, objectively applying Bush rules, God clearly DOES qualify as a terrorist, or at least guilty of making terroristic threats! So charge on, Ernie! "

" I for one am glad that Ernie is doing this. It's high time SOMEONE made a commentary on the absurdity of filing lawsuits just because they didn't like one little thing. At least Ernie had the cajoles to do this and publicly admit it. Any "insane" politician wouldn't have! "

" It matters not why he filed the lawsuit. He filed it and, it appears, on the behalf of his constituency has asked they be protected from God. God have mercy on your souls. What kind of State would elect, and then re-elect an idiot who would file a lawsuit asking for an injunction against God? People wonder why this great nation has fallen to the level it has and why our children are falling behind the rest of the world, here is a great example of why. What kind of state elects, re-elects, and then depends on term limits to remove this kind of idiot to public office? Why anyone would want to be protected from God Do you out-source your faith in Nebraska? My faith comes from my knowledge and belief in Gods word and his son Jesus Christ, where does your's come from? I don't be believe anyone would "FORBID" a black man to be more educated than a white man, just please learn how to spell the words you use. "

" Ernie didnt have to sue God to show that anybod can sue anybody, we see that everyday from frivolous law suits against McDonalds because the woman was stupid enough to put a hot drink between her legs to convicts suing for human rights. Suing God just shows this man's ignorance. I know the devil will be open to Ernie's lawsuit and will probably make a special place for him in his home. "

" Uh-oh, Ernie. God is omnipotent, which means he's always right, and always has the most power, so he always wins. I guess your theme must be, "It's better to have sued and lost, than never to have sued at all." And another thought that just occurred to me - God has no one except himself to roll his eyes and look up to in wonderment at what some people will do! "

" I don’t know what’s worse... a senator that is supposed to not only have but use his brain pulling childish stunts such as this one or the fact that he will probably get a literal judge that would listen to everything he has to say and award him some "ungodly" amount of money to be paid from some entity that is not in any form of physical existence. I think I should sue the Easter bunny because I have to buy my kids Easter candy and that inconveniences me. How about Santa Clause who forces me every year to spend money for gifts for my kids? This is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard of and another case of thinking that Ernie can’t get any worse, he does and we continue to put up with it. "

" Why is this even in the news? Don't give Ernie any more press time. "

" Of course the real point is that Chambers want's the publicity. He's gearing up for his "last hurrah" in the Dictacameral. The nice thing is, this coming session will be nothing but the "Ernie Chambers Show." With all his theatrics, it should be a session where nothing gets done. That's a good thing. They won't do any more damage! "

" Hew Ernie thanks for wasteing even more of our tax dollars that the state of Nebraska does not know how to distribute. Go back to cutting hair. "

" Good job Ernie! just one more reason to GET YOU OUT OF OFFICE!!! What a nut! "

" This is beautiful. In classic Ernie fashion, he approaches the end of his Unicam career with style, challenging moral and juridical norms in one fell swoop. I couldn't be more proud of him - one of the last state legislators left to uphold the independent, progressive tradition that's otherwise been lost through Nebraska's history. But not to worry, racist Christians, you can congratulate yourselves: with term limits, you no longer have to worry about the scary black man who says things you don't agree with. Nothing like all-white legislation!! "

" Brilliant! "

" It's really sad to me that readers don't understand what Chambers is actually trying to do here. "Irony" anyone??? Come on! "

" I first read the headline yesterday in a national news source – State senator sues God over acts of terrorism – and I immediately thought, this sounds like something Ernie Chambers would do! When I read the article and realized it WAS Ernie Chambers, I nearly wept tears of joy at the mere anticipation of the LOLs I’d enjoy at the expense of all the rednecks and fundies who would be sure to squeal about it in the Journal Star comments. Thank you all, and thank YOU, Ernie. You will be missed. "

" Ernie wants to protest a frivolous lawsuit by filing a frivolous law suit. Genius! Now the next time he gets pulled over for speeding on I-80 he can claim that he’s protesting speeders. I just wish he would protest people who don’t waste the time and resources of the state. "

" I've never been much of a Chambers fan, but this is pure brilliance on his part. I love it!!! "

" I am so very tired of all the christian bashing. Why do you think you can categorize all christians as racists? Or why do you believe all christians are evil? It makes me sick to my stomach. STOP hating us for our beliefs, STOP stereotyping. I am very aware that there are few christians out there that are racist and unlike what the christian faith is about. Your comments are uneducated and unfair. You have the right to not believe in God and we have the right to believe in Him. "

" Talk about going out with a bang, not surprising though from Chambers. Very comical and creative I enjoyed reading this, sue Satan or maybe Buddha next, I bet Ganesha has some deep pockets. Hey either way its good publicity and it got the comments flying, because come on Nebraska what else are we going to do at work? "

" I'm Expecting that a judge will read who is being sued and stop reading right there. Since God most likely won't show up as a defendant, Ernie's case has wasted all kinds of time. Just look at all of our responses. Watch out Ernie, you may get served by God Almighty, himself. You will have to answer to him one day. It'll be a lot cooler later for you if you answer his call to you sooner. "

" I hope he wins. "

" Ernie knows how to make a point, and in his own unique way, he is a voice of reason. You all just don't like looking at yourselves in the mirror that he holds up...it isn't a pretty sight, is it? "

" None of you GET the point. Most of you people bash lawsuits all the time. For once Ernie is helping you. He's knows it's frivilous. He's making the point that anyone can file a lawsuit for anything, no matter how ridiculous. "

" A FOX report stated that Chambers was opposing some plans by other legislators to pass laws preventing frivolous lawsuits or in some way preventing people from filing lawsuits. So, if that is accurate, to make his point he filed a suit against God because Chambers says we all have the right to use the judicial sysytem. Thus his message is lawmakers don't get to tell us how when or why we get to sue someone. FYI Ne already has statutes concerning frivolous lawsuits. If we had anymore specific laws saying when and why you can sue no one would use a court system. Ok well judges would be out of a job as would trial attorneys however people WOULD be harmed and have no recourse. So in the end do we want the legislators telling us when and how and why we can use the court system? I don't. Someone truly wrongs me and I am truly hurt in some way I have the constitutional right to sue. And, Ernie gets to file a lawsuit against God if he wants. :) "

" Totally amazed. I sit here and read the comments and I am totally amazed. Do you people know how to read? Or is it the comprehension you have problem with? I can understand the humor being above your head, but come on people, think for a change. I find so many people who are so anti Ernie, they will shoot down any idea he has. Even if it is to help them. Who do you think stood up for the farmers during the 80's farm crisis? Ernie! And he did so knowing very well that many of those same people detested him for being black. But, still he stood his ground. I am truly amazed at all the ignorance around us. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. "

" No wonder north Omaha is so crime-laden with a state senator that despises god and all that is good. The lawsuit Chambers filed against god is not just to make a point. It continues a pattern of hate toward christians and other believers. It just amazes me he has been re-elected with this hate campaign. Thankfully, the good people of Nebraska recognized this menace a passed term limits. Hit the road Ernie. Oh, and my guess is when Ernie is laying on his death bed begging god to take away the pain and forgive him for all the damage he has caused in his life, God will oblige instead of sending him where he really deserves to go. "

" I love IT! Ernie is the man. I wish he would run against Bruning and all those other fools for us senate! btw, he wouldn't sue satan b/c as he would say that would be like suing himself. "

" Alright Ernie! You finally came up with something creative! Even Fox reported your frivolous lawsuit on this morning! Of course, the big question is how long will it take for a judge to rule this as frivolous, throw it out and charge Ernie court costs? Then again, Ernie hasn't made the news much this off session so he's got to be feeling a little unappreciated. This will help. I know there's a man who's announced he's running for that seat next year. Let's hope he doesn't go to Ernie for advice. "

" Ernie is my God. Me gusta Ernie. "

" I actually hope he gets his injunction against God. Imagine a life with no "widespread death, destruction and terriozatino of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants" no more "fearsome flood...horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes." Wouldn't that be a wonderful place. I also hope that the judge takes it a step further and rids the world of egotistical politicians who want nothing more than to bring the spotlight on themselves. Ernie Chambers has shown on several occasions that he is not afraid of using "questionable merit" to further his own agenda or to hinder the work of his fellow lawmakers. and others have already mentioned his total disregard of speed limits (or at least when they pertain to him) If ever a judge should impose sanctions over a frivolous lawsuit, I would think Ernie Chambers lawsuit would be a place to start. Ernie, God's work can be kind of terrifing, but so can the work of prima dona politicians who do nothing but attempt to further their own agenda. as voters in Nebraska, we have already imposed sanctions on politicians like Ernie, I only hope the Douglas County Courts will do the same with his frivolous lawsuit. "

" Brilliant, Ernie, brilliant!! No one realizes how much money, how many rights Ernie has saved for ALL of us. "

" This is possibly one of the funniest things I've read in a while. I'm shocked that some people don't realize he's doing this to make a point...I'm pretty sure he doesn't think he can actually win a lawsuit against a non-tangible being (or that the lawsuit will even be considered beyond a preliminary stage). I think an even bigger point he should be making is that our society is far too litigous. As soon as something doesn't go the way we want it too, we try to sue to make it better. "

" If this isn't a sign that Chambers has COMPLETELY LOST IT, I don't know what is. It's time for him to leave his position and retire in another country hopefully. I'm tired of his ridiculous antics just for attention. GOOD RIDANCE "

" May GOD have mercy on him! "

" Racist? I do belive he clearly defines it. after hearing his interview with Tom Becka, I cannot count how many times he says..... "the white people" "the white people" "the white people" Now If I went around saying "the black people" "the black people" "the black people" I would instantly be labeled a Racist.. Ernie Chambers needs to resign. Period. "

" I completely understand why he did this but what makes the accused have any more rights the the victim in the case he is complaining about. I really don't think that the lawsuit that was filed in the "rape" case was unjust, she has the right to free speach just as much as he has the right to a fair trial. If she beileives she was raped then why can't she say it. If he belives it was concentual then he can say it was, let the facts speak for themselves in there own words and the judge and jury sort it out. Give people some credit. "

" Did I miss something? I thought the reason he filed the suit was to demonstrate that you should be able to sue for anything you want. I think he's saying that no TYPE of issue should be off limits. "

" I was listening to a nationally syndicated radio program and they mentioned this story. Then they proceeded to say this is the only kind of stories that come out of Nebraska and if you even go through the state, you will end up dumber. high five ernie for making the rest of the country think we are complete morons. "

" What is Ernie going to do when he has left the legislature and has no way to get attention in the media. I guess he and Bert, will have to hang out. Waste of time and money that seems to follow him everywhere. Yeah, Ernie, you sure showed us. "

" Chambers legacy is that he wasted more time than any state senator in history. Anyone who voted for him should be ashamed. He is just an egomanaic. "

" Isn’t it interesting that the point of the lawsuit/prtoest is completely missed on everyone because it has the word God in it? He should have sued Allah, then all these Christian bigots would be asking where they can send a check to fund his cause and STILL miss the point. "

" Ernie makes me proud to be from Nebraska. God, if he or she exists, must be smiling to see such a brilliant creation....using the brain given to him. "

" Sure we could debate the reason's why Ernie filed. Even given by Ernie himself. Although, after reading through the 5 page suit filed it seems to use the very written word as justification. So just as "God" so commented above, one could presume that the book of Revelation could be deemed as the ultimate threat, thereby "calling the church out" to defend it's practices & beliefs. I find it moreover interesting to see if & or when someone is smart enough to show up as a "representation" of God & challenge Ernie in court, although you better have your "A" game on with your defense, Ernie is very well versed in the scriptures. Not to mention how this may play out with the separation of church & state issues. "

" Erie, looking forward to seeing you soon! You will like it here, sure beats those cold Nebraska winters. "

" I just have to wonder...who would represent the defense? "

" In the state I live in, this guy would'nt be elected to begin with. Next, they would lock him up in a secure mental hospital. Boy, nebraskans he's sure something to be proud of. "

" Good for "Tim from Indiana." Thank heavens I lived most of my life in Indiana. Galatians 6:3 says: "If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself." and Galatians 6: 7 says, "To not be deceived: God cannot be MOCKED . A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will destruction." Ernie has disgraced the state of Nebraska ONCE AGAIN! His crap has spread to every state!!!!!! "

" And everyone thought BOZO the clown was dead! No wonder this state is such a mess with taxes, buying property over it's value and then trying to sell it again for a loss, my family heard of this in Colorado and made a special call to ask me if was really true, how embarassing is that! Thanks Ernie for making Nebraskans so proud. "

" i think that ernie chambers needs to get his head in the right place. i understand he is trying to make a point that you can sue anyone but for him to sue GOD for terroristic threats toward the senator is just outragous. GOD has a reason for everything and for someone to sue GOD is just blasphemous. i understand he doesnt believe in GOD or whatever and that everyone has their opinion but i consider this a political stunt. He is a crazy man and should not be in office anymore. "

" It's time people learned that the Bible has in it a lot more than the Sermon on the Mount, and that much of it is horrible. Of course, the major evidence against the god is the Bible, and that is just hearsay. "

" Aren't we supposed to keep church and state seperate? If Ernie has a law degree, he certanily has forgotten how to use it. "

" Clearly, the point is lost on most people. It's not a statement about religion; it's a statement about lawsuits. But you can't expect most Americans to comprehend something symbolic anymore, probably because we're slowly eliminating the humanities from education. "

" I so much appreciate how Ernie Chambers inspires the people of the state of NE to THINK!If he did not provoke us to think and discuss issues we would just mildew and gain weight. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with him. He speaks for the minority (not a black white thing but for those who have not voice) I would take him over another boring white guy in a suit any day. "

" State Sen. Ernie Chambers has filed suit against the wrong defendant. The defendant causing all of the natural disasters, untold death and horror in the world is Satan. God is the good guy! His plan is to prosper you and not harm you, give you a future and a hope. Satan seeks to steal and destroy. Sen. Chambers should be countersued for filing a frivolous lawsuit. "

" It is time for a psychological test for Ernie!!!! Guess we know WHO'S side he is on! "

" Nice publicity stunt Ernie! Why didn't you make your "point" using only your own nickel. It will be interesting to see what kind of job Ernie gets as a result of this stunt and the attention to him it brings. Hope this paper will do a report on what Ernie is up to after he's out of the Legislature. Thank God for term limits, don't sue Him! "

" Maybe if his point is good he could have came up with a better way of getting it across! "

" WOW! I used to just think to myself that a lot of Nebraskans do not have a clue as to how the laws of this state work or who decides if a lawsuit is frivolous and a waste of time, and then I read most of the comments to this article and a good portion of you folks confirmed my previous beliefs. You can bash senator Chambers all you want, but that will not change the fact that many of you have just shown your ignorance and lack of knowledge for how the rule of laws work in this state. Reading is fundamental people and some of you need a refresher course in how to read and basic civics. No wonder our kids are struggling in school, if the adults who are responding in negative fashion are their role models. "

" It's high time Ernie retire, and not waste time on being such a nut case for us in Lincoln! I too heard the host on Drive Time Lincoln, and he was right on track. Ernie should shut his mouth before someone slams a suit on him in my opinion. Ernie, your time, and term are up. "

" LOL What a clown. Nice way to waste more tax money. "

" Well, you can sue McDonalds for making people overweight and selling hot coffee, you can sue the cigarette companies for giving you cancer, you can be frivolous all you want, at least he is not just trying to make a million dollars for being dumb. "

" perhaps webster will place a picture of ernie next to the definition of "hubris", which is, afterall, what chamber's goal must be. "

" This action doesn't surprise me in the least by Chambers. I don't think he could do anything that would make me think less of him. But with every action like this he takes, I think less of the voters in his district. "

" If Ernie goes before the judge who sued for millions because they lost his pants....he just might have a chance of winning... Only in Nebraska...makes me proud "

" So I was just wondering, and also wondering how many people thought this: Why didn't Ernie sue Muhammad? What other religion is out there that followers will blow themselves up trying to make a point? Haha! That would be rich! Maybe we would have rioting in the streets, people killed, and buildings burned, all over Ernie Chambers trying to sue Muhammad. That would be really rich! "

" How embarrassing! "

" How will this cost the taxpayers money? There tend not to be trials when there is no defendant. All that's going to happen with this complaint is that 1) we are going to talk about it 2) some law clerk is going to give it a stamp and toss it in a bin with all the other complaints that were never served. I think Ernie has made his point (or tried...) "

" From the comments it sounds like there are alot of people glad to see Ernie go next year. I feel that Ernie was the one person in our legislature that protected us from the conservative senators that want to control our lives with their beliefs. In his own unique way he trys to let us see how rediculous people in government and in the general public are. Term limits are not a good thing and Nebraskans will learn this in time. I think there are alot of hypocriticle people out there that do not have a clue what is really going on. Thanks Ernie for all you have done. You are irreplacable. Some of us see the light, others are lost in the dark and will always be. "

" At last we have a Senator who is not Neurotic. But I'm confused about which God Ernie is talking about, is it Zeus, Neptune, Venus, Thor, etc, etc, etc....... "

" Wow, what a waste of time, money and energy. He's crazy. "

" Predictibly the crusty ultra-conservative folk and those who never look past the surface are outraged. Of course this is frivolous, of course its a waste of time and money, and of course he was trying to get publicity. There is no way for him to win against an omnipetent being of any kind. He's trying to make a point! Not win a lawsuit. Ok, so does anyone not agree that there are too many frivolous lawsuits? If you all agree then why would you complain about his actions? He is attempting to help all of us. Just look past the God part and forget about your "Holly Bib el" (as Ernie likes to call it) for a moment if you have to to understand. Those with brain function and ability to independently form thought will see his point, perhaps leading them to think twice before bringing about their own lawsuit or even before partaking in other daily actions. He's trying to get you to use your head a little people. To think before you speak so to say. To look past the obvious. Sadly there are many in this world, and many journalstar readers, who do little of either. No I don't approve of all he does, some he does just because he can, but he does more for us than anyone else in the unicam. And to those of you who voted in term limits just because of Ernie and some clowns from New York who told you its a good idea in Nebraska, sadly you are the ones who will never know all the work Sen. Chambers has done for you. Nice work Senator! Thanks for your efforts! "

" I have several thoughts on this: (1) Suing God is not an original idea. I saw it on an episode of "Touched by an Angel" in the mid-90's. (2) If Ernie Chambers is supposed to represent ALL of the people of his district, why is he so opposed to God and Christianity? I am sure that the Christians of his district don't feel so represented. (3) While he is attracting some attention for suing the Unsuable, he would be criticized far more if he sued Allah , in my opinion. (4) The lawsuit that he is criticizing does, at least in my opinion, bring up some good points: Should the judge have disallowed the use of the word "rape" in a secual assault trial? This doesn't seem frivolous, in my opinion. There have been far worse frivolous lawsuits; see The Smoking Gun web site at http://www.thesmokinggun.com/ for example. (5) I have thought that Ernie Chambers has been an embarrassment to Nebraska for years, and this is further proof. "

" way to go Ernie! may the best man win! "

" Hey - it may be "a waste of time and money" as several people have said, but at least it's entertaining, unlike the "serious" wastes of time and money the government usually engages in, like Bush's little war. I get the distinct impression that a lot of you folks don't quite "get" satire, either. We need more intelligent folks like Ernie to keep people stirred up and thinking instead of just plodding along doing the same old thing like a bunch of sheep. Every now and then, a wolf in the fold can be stimulating. You go, Ernie! "

" Why do we keep people in office that represent us this way? Time to go!!!! "

" Thanks Ernie!! Now I can sue George Bush for all problems in the US. Everyone blames Bush for hurricanes, high taxes, gas price, and the credit crunch.....your next Georgy. "
