SYRACUSE, New York (AP) -- A Pennsylvania man's lawsuit naming God as a
defendant has been thrown out by a court in Syracuse.
Donald Drusky, 63, of East McKeesport, Pennsylvania , blames God for failing
to bring him justice in a 30-year battle against his former employer, the
steelmaker now called USX Corp.
The company fired him in 1968, when it was called U.S. Steel.
"Defendant God is the sovereign ruler of the universe and took no corrective
action against the leaders of his Church and his Nation for their extremely
serious wrongs, which ruined the life of Donald S. Drusky," the lawsuit
said.
Drusky wanted God to return his youth and grant him the guitar-playing
skills of famous guitarists, along with resurrecting his mother and his pet
pigeon. If God failed to appear in court, federal rules of civil procedure
say he must lose by default, Drusky argued.
U.S. District Judge Norman Mordue last week found the suit -- which also
named former presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, the television
networks, all 50 states, every single American, all federal judges, and the
100th through 105th congresses as defendants -- to be frivolous.
