Nebraska Woman Sues Every Gay On Earth
[su_publirb]
She calls herself the “ambassador” for plaintiffs “God and his son, Jesus Christ.”
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. Gerrard decide once and for all whether homosexuality is or isn’t a sin.
The suit doesn’t cite any case law under which a judge could make such a determination. In fact, it cites no court cases at all, quoting Webster’s Dictionary and numerous Bible verses, instead, to bolster Driskell’s central contention, which is:
“That homosexuality is a sin and that they the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a life of homosexuality. Why else would they have been hiding in the closet.”
Driskell writes, “I’m sixty six years old, an [sic] I never thought that I would see the day in which our Great Nation or Our Great State of Nebraska would become so compliant to the complicity of some peoples [sic] lewd behavior.”

I never thought I would see a day where a segment of our population is so invested in sex lives of other consenting adults. This woman has too much time on her hands.

I never thought there were so many idiots among us.
Suzanne McFly May 6th, 2015 at 10:32 am
We need to start marking them so we know what we are dealing with. A big red “I” on the forehead should do.
AmusedAmused May 6th, 2015 at 11:06 am
Frankly, I think it’s a sexual perversion. And requires treatment.
EnuffBull May 6th, 2015 at 1:23 pm
I think Nebraska should label those type of folks as “illegal sinners.” Maybe Jezus and Gawd will let me file the lawsuit in their names?

Trust me, he won’t do anything to stop you. If you’re lucky, he (or she) will appear as an expert witness.

“Why else would they have been hiding in the closet.”
Well because there are fundies like this lady that scare the hell out of them. Also, you can buy pizza wherever you want if you’re not gay.

But not the Nazi..;)

my favorite was when kramer won the law suit (or loss) and got free coffee for, either a life or year. that cracked me up.
whatthe46 May 6th, 2015 at 10:08 pm
there was this owner of this mexican restaurant here in S.A. called teka molino. he was a mean little chit, i started calling him the “taco nazi” after that episode.

Why didn’t the judge toss this thing in the trash can, where frivolous suits belong? Why is this idiot woman being given a soapbox? And “…compliant to the complicity of some peoples lewd behavior.”? What the hell does that even mean? How are gay people more lewd than heteros? Since they are a minority of the population, there’s a whole lot more lewd behavior by straight people. And I still don’t see how gay people’s behavior affects this nimrod.

Because the procedure does not entail judges scrutinizing every pleading before it is filed. Were that the case, the justice system would be even slower. Furthermore, as a matter of due process, dismissal can only be on notice to the plaintiff, with an opportunity to submit a brief. This is especially true in cases involving pro se plaintiffs. As crazy as it sounds in this case, a procedural rule allowing the court to toss a case without a formal hearing would be very, very unconstitutional.
As a practical matter, anyone can FILE anything they want. Eventually, the case gets scheduled for a conference, at which time the court may make its own motion to dismiss. Plaintiff will be given an opportunity to submit a brief and later there will be a written decision of dismissal.
Larry Schmitt May 6th, 2015 at 11:09 am
That’s true, you can file any kind of lawsuit you want, but judges have tossed obviously frivolous suits as being a waste of everyone’s time.
AmusedAmused May 6th, 2015 at 11:17 am
Yes, after a hearing or a submission of briefs.
Larry Schmitt May 6th, 2015 at 8:40 am
And one more thing. It’s not the courts’ business to decide what is a “sin.” Or even whether “sin” exists. Their business is to deal with crimes. What one person decides is a sin (lying, for example) may not be a crime. If you believe in the concept of “sin,” you have to deal with it on a personal level.

She’ll need to be Takei to have standing! And let’s pretend she knows the 10th and 14th amendments were upheld by Conservative majority SCOTUS 2014 equal marriage ruling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUkA3RvwcWw

If gay people had a book that told them to hate Christians, that would be hate speech.

eeeeeek!

Funny stuff…I wonder what her plan is to serve all these people properly.
Chinese Democracy May 6th, 2015 at 9:25 pm
The fact its hand written is a homey touch. lol
AmusedAmused May 6th, 2015 at 10:49 am
Uhhn sweetheart? Case dismissed because:
1. US Courts have no subject matter jurisdiction over matters of religion. Where is the superior knowledge of the Constitution fundies supposedly have?
2. The District if Nebraska has no personal jurisdiction over people located outside of its territory.
3. Good luck serving process on every gay in the world, moran.
4. Thanks for the filing fee and the lulz, the summer clerks need a distraction from the doom and gloom of the law job market and their astronomical student loans.
Alternative theory: perfromance art?

Hilarious, more theocratic nonsense from the theocratic babblers

It makes me sad to think of this poor brainwashed woman being so upset about the good news that homosexuality is becoming more accepted. It seems like a real waste of the limited time she has left on this rock.
Chinese Democracy May 6th, 2015 at 1:23 pm
Its funny she thinks God couldn’t handle this.. She can’t accept that God must have made me perfectly gay

A judge has no authority to declare something a “sin”. This lawsuit will be thrown out so fast, it’ll leave a flaming trail behind.
Krissie May 6th, 2015 at 1:56 pm
Guess us bisexuals aren’t getting sued 😉
OldLefty May 6th, 2015 at 2:14 pm
Maybe half the lawsuit.
When Hillcrest Country Club offered to waive its no-Jews rule for Groucho Marx, provided he abstained from using the swimming pool, he remarked, “My daughter’s only half Jewish, can she wade in up to her knees?”
Krissie May 6th, 2015 at 8:56 pm
Eh, I’m fine with half a lawsuit. I have no money for her to take, anyway.
Chinese Democracy May 6th, 2015 at 9:30 pm
no bi and lesbians are off the hook .. Everyone likes watching 2 women kiss lol
Obewon May 6th, 2015 at 9:42 pm
I’ll second that Andy!!

Are you a 10-speed bisexual?
Krissie May 7th, 2015 at 1:13 pm
Nope, 12-speed!
bpollen May 7th, 2015 at 3:21 pm
My parents would never let me have one… (sniff…)
cecilia May 6th, 2015 at 7:10 pm
I want to see her get god as a witness.

whatthe46 May 6th, 2015 at 9:40 pm
