Thankfully I think the gays are off the hook for this crime

my favorite part is where they explain that for her to claim that this is under the jurisdiction of a federal court, she would have to prove that there are no gay people who are citizens of the state of Nebraska
Possibly true. If neither she nor the judge are.
if I understand correctly, it's actually because she is. it explains that in order for a civil case to be under the jurisdiction of a federal court (and a civil case must be what she's attempting, since she doesn't cite any federal law to allege that the defendants have broken it), none of the plaintiffs can be citizens of the same state as any of the defendants. otherwise, presumably, it would fall under the jurisdiction of whichever state both parties are citizens of. so because both she and some gay people are Nebraskans, the case would have to be handled by a Nebraska state court, not a federal court
I was making a joke about there being like two people in Nebraska and here you are vomiting up law larp at me.
oh, yeah I didn't get that at all. good premise though, sounds like it woulda been funny
