Rogan represented the district that includes Pasadena and Burbank, home to
NBC Studios and Disney headquarters. He received a 100 percent rating in
1998 from the American Conservative Union and a 6 percent rating from the
ACLU. The Patent Office seems to invite appointments from Hollywood to whom
the president's party owes political favors: Look at Clinton's pick of
lawyer-lobbyist Bruce Lehman. Other coverage:

5. Bush names former impeachment manager to head Patent Office From
CongressDaily President Bush has offered a top Commerce Department post to
former House impeachment manager Rep. James Rogan, a Los Angeles- area
Republican who lost an expensive re-election contest in November, the
Associated Press reported. Bush said Thursday he had nominated Rogan to be
undersecretary of Commerce for intellectual property and director of the
Patent and Trademark Office. Rogan was defeated last year by Democratic
Rep. Adam Schiff after a race in which more than $10 million was raised by
both sides. The district includes the Los Angeles suburbs of Glendale,
Pasadena and Burbank. Rogan has been working at a Baltimore-based law firm
since then. As manager of former President Clinton's impeachment trial,
Rogan gained national attention. He blamed his role in the impeachment for
his defeat. Click here for related stories and links:
