The defamation lawsuit filed on behalf of our solar system's star in the Milky Way Intergalactic District Court last year against Al Gore and reported here at Redstate asking the "burning question", Where will the Knicks play?, has been hobbled by a lack of cash flow of the Plaintiff.
The Sun's lawyer, Mike DeVine, paid the filing fee and service of process fee, and was fortunate to obtain an admission via ABC News transcript after which Bill Clinton was added as a witness in The Sun v Al Gore lawsuit.
But The Sun has been unable to generate any income given its inability to travel any closer than 93 million miles to any available place of employment on Planet Earth.
Hence, DeVine Law has had to fend off claims his client is a "public figure" and hence must prove "actual mailce" by Gore.
The gravamen of the Complaint is that the defendant, Al Gore defames the plaintiff by alleging that Man, and not The Sun, warms the Earth.
But now, pursuant to Rule 20. Permissive Joinder of Parties DeVine is adding a well-heeled party plaintiff to the lawsuit, as well as a new cause of action (see below link re carbon credit fraud) and adding two additional party defendants, one of which is a pocket deeper than Gore.

The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.
Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.
“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”
The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.
Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called “the fraud of global warming.” He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.
Coleman will be footing the bill for deposition and other discovery expenses for DeVine in the contingency fee civil action.
Some republicans and Alaskans have expressed hope that the case can generate support for new oil drilling as opposed to the democrat exclusive love for old oil. See link

Many in the GOP also hope to persuade John McCain to give up the defamation generated support for taxing Americans to fund futile cooling tactics, taking away Edison's light bulb and the Corvette, and forcing Americans to drive scooters next to semis on I-95.
