If this lawsuit survives a motion dismiss, we are all in in deep kim chi.

It'll be worse than deep kim chi. We'll become Canada.

And I mean no disrespect to all you fine Cannucks.

[Congressman Billybob]

I agree with you, but go a step further. If there is as lawyer involved on behalf of this clown, HE should be fined, if not disbarred. Garbage in court is a direct result of gargage at the bar.

'Gay' man sues $70 million for emotional distress because homosexuality cast as sin

If that works, we could extend it.

• 'White Male' sues DNC for being cast as the cause of this nation's ills
• 'Bitter' gun own sues Barak Obama for disparaging remark.

All the guy has to do is get himself a homosexual judge and he has his 70 million.

[Red Badger]

Maybe he should sue the Court of St. James...................

[Red Badger]

If you can sue a “Ham Sandwich” you can sue money...............

The real question is if the courts tell him to go bugger himself, will he consider that a defeat or a victory?

Difficult to get Rule 11 sanctions against a pro se plaintiff. Standard is knowingly filing a pleading not reasonably supported by law (or reasonable expectation of change in law) or facts. Most states have Rule 11 as well.

I was recently involved in a case where a pro se plaintiff (and a lawyer to boot!) was hit for $6500 in Rule 11 sanctions. That was, however, only half of defendant's out of pocket lawyer expense. Nothing awarded for defendant's time and bother. Defendant is contemplated suing the out of control lawyer for malicious prosecution. Oh yeah, out of control lawyer is of course appealing grant of Rule 11 sanctions. Deal could end up costing defendant a bundle, while out of control lawyer pays nothing for his continued frivolous filings.

Grant of Rule 11 sanctions is entirely discretionary on part of judge, both as to whether they are granted and in what amount. So it's not really "loser pays." Unfortunately.

Counter sue for attempting to steal the publisher’s first amendment rights. Sue for $450,000,000.97. Might as well, he probably has a negative net worth anyway.

“This lawsuit probably could have been successful in Great Britain, or possibly Canada, but not in America (YET!).”

I don’t think it has any chance of being successful anywhere, but actually I would think it has more chance of a hearing in the “litigation-happy” US.

The Lib's ideal version of the First Amendment:

Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech of people we like, or of the our allies in the press; or the right of the people we like peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Interesting lawsuit. Totally groundless, but an interesting concept.

Oh, Obama’s comments offended me. Maybe I can sue him.

[tbw2]

Do murderers who are rebuked by family get to sue, too?

[Madame Dufarge]

Is he proud or emotionally distressed?

Doesn't his book refute the premise of his lawsuit?

I can't imagine his winning anything except his 15 minutes.

[DungeonMaster]

Seems like a 1st amendment case. But wait, Christians don’t get no steenking 1st amendment.

[Arguendo]

The government does in fact do just that in civil asset forfeiture cases (e.g., United States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency).

[RSmithOpt]

Agreed....I'd like to see that one. Funny, The Truth has a lot people declaring war on the US and its founding principles.

Sin is sin...homosexual behavior is akin to lying, stealing, murder, and it's basically putting one's self in front of God and His Word.

[brityank]

I almost admire the guy for trying this. He’s got vision.

No way do I want his wet dream to become our nightmare.

[xDGx]

BINGO.

This is a cheap way to use the legal system as advertising for his book.
