President Bush on Friday chose Paul D. Clement as solicitor general, the job Clement has held for eight months on an acting basis. Clement served as deputy to Solicitor General Theodore Olson, whom Bush tapped after Olson won the Supreme Court decision on Florida's presidential voting that sealed Bush's 2000 victory. Clement drew criticism when he assured justices that the administration could be trusted with broad authority to detain terror suspects without giving them a chance to be heard in court.
