The White House remains steadfast. They said they will absolutely not withdraw Harriet Miers' nomination to the Supreme Court. You know what that means? She'll be out of there in a week." --David Letterman

"Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers told the New York Times that George Bush was the most brilliant man she ever met, which is kind of scary. She only has one known opinion, and that's it." --Jay Leno

"President Bush is getting a lot of grief from conservatives about Harriet Miers' lack of legal opinions.

Which is kind of surprising, a woman without any opinions? That's like a Republican's dream, isn't it?" --Jay Leno

"This is what we know about Miers. She's never been married, and she has no known boyfriend. In fact, today President Bush announced a very ambitious plan to put a man on Miers by the year 2010." --Jay Leno

"A lot of conservative Republicans say they are very upset about President Bush's choice of Harriet Miers. They say she has no experience, she doesn't know anything about constitutional law, and she's never shown any interest in it. Where were these people with the high standards when they nominated Bush to be president?" --Jay Leno

"She's never been a judge before, never served on the bench. This is part of President Bush's strategy of surrounding himself with people who are also in over their heads." --Jay Leno, on Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers

"President Bush tried to reassure conservative that Harriet Miers was the best choice for the Supreme Court. He said twenty years from now she'll be the same person she was today.

Twenty years ago she was a Democrat, and Catholic." --Jay Leno

"We don't know a lot about this Harriet Miers, but she said George Bush was the most brilliant man she ever met. You know, this chick has got to meet more guys." --Jay Leno

"The latest rumor is, she has so few supporters that her nomination will be withdrawn. They think Bush may have to go to the woman who has had more courtroom experience. You know, like Courtney Love." --Jay Leno

"Some conservatives are upset with President Bush's Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers because she donated $1,000 to Al Gore's campaign in 1988. In response she said, Come on, we all did embarrassing things in the '80s." --Conan O'Brien

"Interesting woman this Harriet Miers. She used to be a Democrat, and then she found God and became a Republican. Which is kind of backwards, because usually in Washingotn you become a Republican, get indicted, go to jail, then you find God." --Jay Leno

"A lot of Republicans are baffled by this choice. You can't really blame them. I mean, think about it. We have a more rigorous selection process on 'The Apprentice' than we do on the Supreme Court. At least let her get grilled by Trump." --Jay Leno

"Records show (Miers) gave money to Al Gore's campaign, and she also called President Bush the most brilliant man she ever met. And this is the woman we're hiring for her judgment?" --Jay Leno

"Big news this morning at the White House, President Bush defended his nominee, Harriet Miers, calling her 'Plenty bright.' Yeah, not only that, but then the president said Miers has 'real purdy hair.' Then he got on a mule and headed south." --Conan O'Brien

"As you might expect some people are criticizing the pick, especially conservative Republicans who worry that Harriet Miers is too liberal. Other critics say she's not a good pick because she hasn't been a judge before. Uh, had Paula Abdul been a judge before? Nobody had a problem when they picked her." --Jimmy Kimmel

"Harriet Miers, as you know, has no experience. Apparently no experience is the main requirement to be a Bush appointee." --David Letterman
