A federal judge in Nebraska did not waste any time in dismissing the lawsuit brought by a woman in Nebraska against all homosexuals. She wanted the judge to rule that homosexuality is sinful, which of course the court cannot do. The suit was dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
From Omaha.com:
A federal judge will not allow a Nebraska woman to be a legal spokeswoman for God and his son, Jesus Christ. Judge John Gerrard dismissed a lawsuit Wednesday filed against all homosexuals. Sylvia Driskell, 66, of Auburn, Nebraska, had asked the court last week to decide whether homosexuality is a sin. In a strongly worded opinion, the judge said it is not up to the court to decide whether homosexuality is sinful. Gerrard said Driskell lacked subject matter jurisdiction and cannot sue a class of unidentified defendants. Driskell did not set forth a factual or legal basis for a federal claim.

From the order:
The United States Federal Courts were created to resolve actual cases and controversies arising under the Constitution and the laws of the United States. A federal court is not a forum for debate or discourse on theological matters.
The judge will not allow an amended complaint as it would be futile.
I'm somewhat disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing Dan Savage deposed (on video) in this case. Oh well ... it was good for a laugh while it lasted.
