Judge sends God lawsuit to afterlife

That's what the UPI headline read. Apparently an Omaha, Nebraska state Senator attempted to sue God. He wanted to prevent "... the almighty from bringing about earthquakes, tornadoes and other acts of natural violence." State Senator Ernie Chambers, a 28-year veteran of the Nebraska Legislature was apparently making a comment on frivolous lawsuits. Another state lawmaker wanted to prevent frivolous lawsuits through enacting a law against them. However, Chambers thought that anyone should be able to sue anyone else at any time, so he sued God.

I think it should be left up to the judge sitting on the bench to decide if a lawsuit is frivolous. If the judge believes the lawsuit is frivolous he or she can always throw it out.
