In the suit, entered into the docket as Driskell v. Homosexuals, Sylvia Ann Driskell, 66, of Auburn, Nebraska, asks in a seven-page, neatly handwritten petition (PDF) that U.S. District Judge John M.

Originally Posted By ecdc Here's the thing though... At least this woman is honest. She is upfront about precisely why she is opposed to homosexuality and marriage equality in the United States.

A friend of the court brief was filed at SCOTUS opposing gay marriage and signed by hundreds of people. University presidents, medical doctors, professors, business owners, etc. And what do these esteemed people have in common? Their religion says gay marriage makes baby Jesus cry. Let's make absolutely certain we include those kooks in with this woman when we poke fun. They are just as worthy.
Originally Posted By oc_dean I'm not going to attempt to rationalize this, the slightest. It will be thrown out so fast ... with a judge nearly screaming - "I'm not allowing this to take up the court's time! YOU'RE DISMISSED!" And that will be the end of it!
Originally Posted By SuperDry <<< "A Nebraska woman identifying herself as the "ambassador" for plaintiffs "God and His Son, Jesus Christ," is suing all homosexuals on Earth >>> I think the judge should defer the case until the plaintiff has submitted proof of service of process for all named defendants. That should take awhile.
