Senator Sues God!!!
by k at 11:54 am EDT, Sep 19, 2007 |
Chambers said the lawsuit was triggered by a federal suit filed against a judge who recently barred words such as 'rape' and 'victim' from a sexual assault trial. The accuser in the criminal case, Tory Bowen, sued Lancaster District Judge Jeffre Cheuvront, claiming that he violated her free speech rights. Chambers said Bowen's lawsuit is inappropriate because the Nebraska Supreme Court has already considered the case and federal courts follow the decisions of state supreme courts on state matters.
I'n not a lawyer and not intimately familiar with these cases, but just from what I've gleaned in the article, I think this Bowen woman has a point, at least, if not a case, and Chambers is being an asshole. Also, no explanation is given for how a free speech complaint is a "state matter", which I'm curious about. All legal details aside, I think it's pretty ridiculous for a judge to bar "words such as 'rape' and 'victim' from a sexual assault trial". Until someone can explain a good reason for this (there may be one), I'm gonna conclude that the district judge, the Nebraska Supreme Court and State Sen. Chambers are a bunch of jackasses, at the very least. |

That appears to be the case based on what little I know about this, but its still funny that he sued god, and the picture of him in front of the fan is still priceless, even if he is a complete jerk. |

Heard. That local photographer was either super lucky or had a grand stroke of inspiration... it's a really cool shot. |
