Caught in a four-way crossfire between Sen. Chambers vs. Sen. Christensen, and Sen. Ashford vs. angry heterosexual supremacists tired of waiting to testify, was one Brian* something-or-other, a polite, cute and, at times, vaguely alarmed tax attorney who will probably think twice before ever again agreeing to testify before the Nebraska Unicameral.
     Sen. Chambers:
If there's any lawyers out there, and any couple, we should get together and collaborate and try to force Nebraska to at least have the appearance of being civilized; a society that has evolved beyond the dark ages, the middle ages and the period of the inquisition and the burning of so-called witches.

16:14 Chambers gets the tax employee benefits attorney to crack a smile by characterizing Catholic Church's indulgence of Michelangelo's same sex tendencies by claiming their position was "We got a little sugar in our britches sometimes also; we understand things like that."

17:37 Sen. Christensen gets some payback from Chambers, who never forgets anything, over a stray comment he made at a previous hearing about a gay neighbor

22:20 Impatient heterosexual supremacists revolt, fearing that they won't get to testify by the 2 pm cutoff of the five-hour hearing, as there is no end in sight to Chambers' monologue; Judiciary Committee Chairman Brad Ashford quells the insurrection
