“I also do not think it is about that beautiful last line in the Pledge of Allegiance, liberty and justice for all. There are some of us that can make a compelling case that not only has Legal Services been arrogant and corrupt and done things to exacerbate illegal immigration and has actually hurt the poor by not letting people evict drug dealers from public housing, but past administrations have attempted without success to place any restrictions on LSC. Their current President, Alexander Forger, has been particularly arrogant about his intention to resist any future congressional limitations. At a board meeting on April 11, 1995, he says this proudly; he said, "There is a legal case, if we choose to assert it, that the committee, in this case a House and Senate committee, does not have any authority to make the decision over what cases we take." Mr. Chairman, under the pretense of providing the impoverished with access to the legal system, the Legal Services Corporation has cost American taxpayers untold billions of dollars in politically motivated litigation costs--some say nearly $2 trillion!”
