We are talking about honoring those words on the front of the Supreme Court across the way. "Equal justice under law." There has been overheated rhetoric from those who want to kill legal services for the poor. I would Just remind my colleagues that the restrictions are in place from last year. Some of these anecdotal references refer to horror stories in the past. There have been abuses. we all know that. But the following restrictions are in place: No class action suits by LSC. no lobbying. no legal assistance to illegal aliens. no political activities. no prisoner litigation. no redistricting representation. no representation of people evicted from public housing due to drugs. That is all in the past. Those restrictions are on LSC as a result of last years bill.
