Key players in the health-care challenge before the Supreme Court - Washington Post

Lawyer Paul Clement

Solicitor General Paul Clement, representing the 26 states challenging the health-care law, has argued more than 55 cases at the Supreme Court. He is a longtime favorite of conservatives and is often mentioned on the short list of potential Supreme Court nominees should a Republican win the White House. He attended Georgetown University and Harvard Law School and later clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia. Clement, 45, served as solicitor general under President George W. Bush, is a partner at Bancroft PLLC and teaches law at Georgetown University.
