Supreme Court absolves children SP
from facing their accused abusers
WASHINGTON (AP) — People
charged with child abuse have no
guaranteed right to face-to-face con
frontations with their young accus
ers if the children would suffer emo
tional trauma as a result, the
Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
In a pair of 5-4 rulings, the court
gave tacit approval to the constitu
tionality of measures taken by many
states to spare children from such
potentially traumatic confrontations.
Those measures include the use
of videotaped testimony, testimony
by one-way closed circuit television
and even testimony by doctors and
others who interviewed alleged
abuse victims.
“A state’s interest in the physical
and psychological well-being of
child-abuse victims may be suffi
ciently important to outweigh, at
least in some cases, a defendant’s
right to face his or her accusers in
court,” Justice Sandra Day O’Con
nor wrote for the court.
Concluding its 1989-90 term, the
court also upheld federal policies
that favor minorities in awarding
broadcast licenses, a major victory
for affirmative action.
By a 5-4 vote, the justices said
preferential Federal Communica
tions Commission policies do not dis
criminate unlawfully against whites.
The court did not address the issue
of women’s rights, but FCC affirma
tive action policies treat women and
ethnic minorities almost identically.
In a case from Florida, the court
said the commission could give spe
cial, favorable consideration to mi
norities in awarding a television sta
tion license. And in a case from
Connecticut, the court upheld the
commission’s “distress-sale” policy,
which allows a broadcaster faced
with the loss of his license to sell to a
Highest court rules in favor
of affirmative action quotas
for granting broadcast licenses
WASHINGTON <AP) — The
Supreme Court said Wednesday
the federal government may fa
vor minorities in awarding broad
cast licenses, a surprising victory
for affirmative action from a
court that has recently trimmed
racial preferences.
The justices, voting 5-4, ruled
that Federal Communications
Commission policies designed to
bring diversity to the nation’s air
waves do not violate the rights of
white people.
The decision delighted
stunned proponents of affirma
tive action.
“Scrape me off the floor,” said
Andrew Jay Schwartzman of the
Media Access Project, a coalition
of groups that had urged the
court to uphold the FCC policies.
“The Supreme Court has opened
the door of opportunity for
America’s minorities.”
Schwartzman said the ruling
also lets the FCC continue its pol
icy of giving preferential treat
ment to women seeking broadcast
licenses.
Although the court did not ad
dress the issue of women’s rights,
FCC affirmative action policies
treat women and minorities al
most identically. Throughout the
history of the two cases ruled on
Wednesday, the FCC has argued
that women’s rights were at issue.
The ruling also removes a
threat to other federal affirma
tive action programs, including
those adopted by the Transporta
tion and Defense Departments
and by the Small Business Ad
ministration.
In Wednesday’s ruling. Justice
William J. Brennan wrote for the
court that congressional approval
of racial preferences shields such
programs from the kind of chal
lenge that could invalidate similar
state and dty plans.
Bush administration officials
are disturbed by provisions of the
bill they say could force busi
nesses to adopt hiring quotas.

In other rulings, the court:
• Limited the power of environ
mentalists to sue in federal court to
prevent the opening of federal lands
to commercial development.
• Upheld Arizona’s death penalty
law in a decision that also removes a
constitutional shadow from similar
laws in Idaho and Montana.
• Ruled in a Maryland case that
most of the nation’s post offices may
ban all soliciting on their property.
The child-abuse decisions, in cases
from Maryland and Idaho, are ex
pected to make it easier to prosec
people on such charges.
The number of cases is now:

Poll: Americans saw taxes coming
Associated Press
President Bush’s flip-flop on his
hallmark campaign pledge of “no
new taxes” is generating more heat
than a summer hot spell in Death
Valley.
Taxes and the hot air of broken
political promises provided a com
bustible mix for people in the street,
radio talk show callers and headline
writers. It didn’t play well in Peoria
either.
“I think all politicians have some
little white lies in them,” said Peter
Sienkowski, 52, a Dallas Republican.
WABC Talk Radio in New York
City played Bush’s oft-repeated cam
paign pledge with his Tuesday
statement that reducing the federal
deficit would need “tax revenue in
creases.” The about-face prompted a
torrent of calls.
“How many times have we heard
that phrase, ‘read my lips?’ ” won
dered Paulette Pettit of WABC.

taxes in College Station.
The proposal has the added effect
of increasing students’ contributions
to the costs of local government,
since Texas A&M students pay sales
tax, but pay property taxes only indi
rectly as a part of their rent.
Students living on the A&M cam
pus do not pay utilities or property
taxes since A&M is a non-taxable
state institution.
Richard Morton, assistant to the
Bryan city manager, said Bryan also
will use its increase to lower property
taxes since the value of property in
Bryan has been falling and sales
have picked up in the area.

sion for school administered medi
cine, artificial tanning and earpier
cing,” Redfield said.
Some pro-choice advocates, how
ever, believe the Supreme Court’s
latest decision is just the beginning
of a dangerous move.
Susan Neney, director of commu
nications for Planned Parenthood,
said the Court’s decision is threaten
ing to young adults.
“Many women do not wish to in
volve their parents, for very good
reasons,” she said.
Neney said some girls may wish to
keep abortion private in fear that vi
olence may be the reaction from an
gry parents. Moreover, a girl who
might come from a loving and car
ing family fears disappointment and
shame from the family.
Neney also said if the law forces
girls to involve their parents against
their judgement, society will witness
a recurrence of what happened be
fore 1973 when obtaining an abor
tion was illegal.
“They may find somebody to do a
non-medical abortion or they may
go to Mexico where illegal abortions
are easily obtained,” she said. “This
is very dangerous. Around 800
women die a month due to illegal
abortions in Mexico.”
Texas presently does not have a
law requiring parental notification
for a girl to obtain an abortion.
Both groups, however, believe
this certainly will be an issue during
January’s legislative session in Aus
tin.
Both groups agreed young
women need to take a stand when
the issue arises in the state’s Capitol.
“A pre-horn child desperately
needs an advocate, and minors can
benefit from wise and compassio
nate counsel,” Redfield said. “Per
haps many parents will serve in these
capacities.”
Neney, however, encourages
young women to be well-informed
and sensitive to the abortion issue
when it comes time for the Legis
lature to decide whether to act on
the Supreme Court’s decision.
