AUSTIN (AP) — It was a shock
rti-abortion activists: In its first
Irg on the state’s new parental
jfication law, the all-Republican
las Supreme Court, including
ec justices appointed by Gov.
i»rge W. Bush, decided a teen-
j girl could have an abortion
thout telling her parents.
Aside from that March ruling,
(court has voted against five oth-
ftnnor girls seeking to bypass the
■fication law. While not defini-
e. the Texas high-court’s actions
letheless suggest that judges ap-
ited by Bush are not necessarily
id by his own views on abortion,
lush, the Republican presiden-
lominee, said in his debate Tues-
ty with Vice President A1 Gore that
/as “pro-life” but would have no
hus test” on abortion or any oth-
nssue when nominating U.S.
jreme Court justices,
lush invited voters to look at
his record in appointing judges to
the Texas Supreme Court, the
state’s highest civil court. Justices
are elected, but the governor fills

unexpired terms. Another court
handles the state’s highest-level
criminal appeals.
“The voters will know I’ll put
competent judges on the bench, peo
ple who will strictly interpret the Con
stitution and will not use the bench to
write social policy,” Bush said.
A1 Gonzales, appointed last year
by Bush, said Wednesday he prac
tices judicial restraint and believes
his fellow justices do too.
“Generally, this is a conservative-
minded body that doesn’t believe in
legislating from the bench,” said
Gonzales, who was Bush’s staff gen
eral counsel, and his appointee for
secretary of state before being
named to the court.
Gonzales said he believes Bush
would take the same approach for
U.S. Supreme Court appointments
as he does in Texas.
“I do know he won’t have a lit
mus test. He never asked me my
position on any particular issue,”
Gonzales said.
Other Bush appointees to the
Texas Supreme Court are James A.
Baker, a Dallas appeals court judge;
Greg Abbott, presiding judge of a
state civil district court in Houston;
and Deborah Hankinson, a Dallas
lawyer Bush had previously ap
pointed to an appeals court.

Quintana said the Times no longer has the original
copy and the three copies turned over to the grand jury
are the same as those turned over by KVIA.
The Times had challenged the subpoena, but a visit
ing district judge ruled against the newspaper.
Quintana said the Times will resist any effort to force
reporters or editors to testify about the identity of the
person who gave the newspaper the documents.
“We will make every attempt... to maintain confi
dentiality,” Quintana said.
Late last month, the Times turned over a one-page
memorandum written by Assistant Police Chief George
De Angelis that raised concerns about Cortinas. It also
was subpoenaed by the grand jury.
Times Editor Don Flores has said the paper turned
over the one-page memo because a copy of the doc
ument already had been published and the newspa
per’s copies would not lead investigators to the con
fidential source.
