In addition to eliminating $137 million in requested funding. this appropriations bill prohibits attorneys receiving Federal assistance from representing illegal aliens. initiating class action suits or participating in litigation Involving prisoners or abortion. There are few more sacred rights possessed by Americans than the their right to seek redress in the courts. This attack on the Legal Service Corporation is yet another attempt by the new Republican majority to weaken programs which are politically unpopular with conservatives.
