I recommend you read the docs, then:

http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/rect.html

In particular, the clamp method documentation states:

        If the rectangle is too large to fit inside, it is centered
        inside the argument Rect, but its size is not changed.

This is the case because your bounds_rect has width 0.  I suggest
changing the width of the bounds_rect to be equal to the width of the
paddle.
