L.A. Confidential

When Los Angeles's Board of Police Commissioners proclaimed "a new era" in 1998, claiming to have implemented drastic reforms urged by the Christopher Commission in response to the Rodney King beating, many people had doubts. Now, with Los Angeles facing the Rampart scandal, the police commission is on the defensive.

Point Man

Sometimes it seems Paul Clement is everywhere, arguing cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and shepherding terrorism cases through lower courts, a sensitive assignment that speaks of his stature within the Bush administration.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court chambers will be packed for an extraordinary session on the constitutionality of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002.

The argument was set weeks before the Court's traditional opening with the hope that the justices would rule before the presidential campaign gets going in earnest.

His has been a stunningly quick rise -- and so far, unimpeded by the political grenades lobbed his way. At the end of Bush's term, Clement may be looking toward a career as a top tier member of the private Supreme Court bar, perhaps a judgeship, even a spot on the high court itself.
