The pages of The New York Times reflected growing concern about the harms caused by LSC’s physical separation requirement twice this week, once in an editorial (“Separate and Inequitable”) and again in a letter to the editor (“Hobbling Nonprofits”). On December 5, 2005, the editorial page wrote, "The fact that Washington provides money for legal representation does not give it unlimited authority to control what lawyers say or do, or to restrict the use of private money so severely." In a letter to the editor in response to the editorial, Rev. Dr. Eileen Lindner, Deputy General Secretary of Research and Planning for the National Council of Churches, wrote, “It's time for Congress to stand up for those who, without a helping hand from legal services organizations and the shared blessings of others, have no place else to turn for legal help."
