Interesting court case against God

Here's the background: Atheist Senator Ernie Chambers files a lawsuit against God, and the judge dismisses the court case "with prejudice" because God doesn't have a residential address and can't be served.

This is where it gets interesting: Sen. Chambers has the right to appeal, on the grounds that since the court acknowledges the existence of God, and recognises His omniscience, then they must accept that He has been duly served. Otherwise they must admit He is either not omniscient, or doesn't exist, or in my opinion they have to finally separate church and state and throw the case out. Sen Chambers hasn't decided if he's going to appeal or not, but I really hope he does, because it would be fascinating to see what happens.
