WASHINGTON.(A)
Court lets poor use gov't lawyers
to sue gov't over loss of welfare
The 5-4 free-speech Supreme Court ruling overturns a Newt Gingrich-era decisionby Congress to condition federal money for the Legal Services Corp. on a promise not to challenge welfare laws. In practice, that meant legal services lawyers could seek benefits for their clients but could not sue over effects ofthe 1996 welfare overhaul passed by the Republican-led Congress. The 1
996 prohibition on challenges applied even if a legal services lawyer used private donations.
Justices grappled with a church-state dispute, hearing arguments on whether a Christian youth group should be allowed to hold after-school meetings at a public school.
The justices also voiced doubts about whether political parties may be restricted in how much they spend to support congressional candidates, citing free-speech concerns.
