Government's top Supreme Court attorney resigns
Headline News
The Justice Department attorney who represents the Bush administration's legal positions before the Supreme Court says he's resigning after more than seven years on the job.
Solicitor General Paul Clement plans to leave his post June 2 — a few weeks before the nation's highest court adjourns for its summer break.
Clement has been the government's chief court advocate for Bush administration policies surrounding the war on terror, including detaining enemy combatants. The government also won several landmark cases that Clement argued, such as banning late-term abortions and letting Congress prohibit the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.
A Justice Department official said Clement did not have any immediate plans other than spending the summer with his children.
