You remember correctly. He has been in office, I believe, for a
very long time. His constituents keep sending him back. Maybe we
ought to worry a bit more about what THEY think.

I don't know Chambers reasons for the lawsuit. But just to
temper the reaction that he must be mad, Chambers, if I remember
correctly, is a wily politician with a good reputation for fighting
for his community.

Chambers obviously doesn't expect to win this lawsuit. And I assume
he is not one of those borderline mentally ill chronic
litigants. So what can he hope to accomplish? Is he just making a
theological/political point? That if God gets credit for good
things that happen, He is also responsible for bad things that happen?
Not exactly a new argument, and likely overwhelmed by reaction to
the absurdity of the lawsuit.
