White confident
he’ll win election
despite new polls
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Mark
White, rejecting recent opinion polls
that show him trailing former Gov.
Bill Clements, voiced increasing con
fidence Thursday that he again will
defeat the Republican he ousted
from office four years ago.
Although some polls within the
last month have shown him as much
as 15 percentage points behind,
White said his position is improving.
“The (late September) Gallup poll
showed us neck-and-neck,” White
said. “The poll that 1 ran personally
(earlier this week) shows us in the
same position.”
White spent much of Thursday
filming new television commercials.
During a late-night interview
Wednesday aboard his campaign
plane, the Democratic incumbent
told the Associated Press he believes
he has overcome much of the an
imosity that dogged him during the
primary.
In May, White claimed less than
54 percent of the Democratic vote to
win renomination.
But then, he said, “I was running
against perfection.” Now, voters
have a clearer picture of the finalists.
“We’re down to two candidates,”
he said. “People have a chance to
compare and contrast records.”
White said he was able to accompl
ish many things Clements failed to
achieve, including school reforms,
increased funding for highways and
passage of a statewide water conser
vation plan.
Although Clements has accused
White of knowing only how to “tax
and spend,” White said he believes
voters understand the necessity for
his administration’s tax hikes.
“It was literally a choice between
that (higher taxes) and bad schools
and bad roads,” he said. “Peo pie
know that.”
At a fund-raising reception for
White in Houston, Sen. Lloyd Bent-
sen, D-Texas, said, “Just a couple of
months ago, you heard people say
ing Mark White couldn’t he elec ted,
that he was down in the polls.”
However, Bentsen said, that now
has changed.
“I don’t hear that kind of talk 1
heard two or three months ago,” he
said. “The talk I hear now is that he’s
even; he’s pulling ahead.”
Meese's remark on Court
draws criticism from lawyers
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
head of the American Bar Associa
tion on Thursday criticized Attorney
General Edwin Meese’s statement
that Supreme Court decisions on the
Constitution do not represent the
absolute law of the land.
In a speech Tuesday night at Tu-
lane University in New Orleans,
Meese said government officials
should be guided by their own views
of the Constitution rather than al
ways deferring to the Supreme
Court.
“Supreme Court decisions are the
law of the land just as acts of Con
gress are the law of the land,” said
Eugene C. Thomas, president of the
200,000-member ABA, the largest
lawyers’ professional association in
the country, in response to Meese’s
comments.
“Both can be tested in the courts,
but unless — and until — they are
overturned, they are the law of the
land,” Thomas said.
A Supreme Court decision binds
the parties in the case and also the
executive branch for whatever en
forcement is necessary, Meese said.
But he added that “such a deci
sion does not establish a ‘supreme
law of the land’ that is binding on all
persons and parts of government,
henceforth and forevermore.”
The ABA president said, how
ever, that until a court decision is
overruled, “public officials and pri
vate citizens alike are not free simply
to disregard that legal holding, for it
is a part of the body of binding con
stitutional law of the land.”
