We culled news reports over the weekend to bring you the most comprehensive list of names President Obama might consider for Justice John Paul Stevens' Supreme Court seat.

The long list, which includes anyone named in a media report this weekend, presented in alphabetical order, is after the jump.

• Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
• Federal Appeals Judge Merrick Garland
• Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm
• Attorney General Eric Holder
• Solicitor General Elena Kagan
• Stanford Professor Pamela Karlan
• Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.
• State Department legal adviser Harold Koh
• Harvard Law dean Martha Minow
• Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
• Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick
• Ex-Georgia Supreme Court Justice Leah Ward Sears
• University of Chicago Law Professor Geoffrey Stone
• Stanford Professor Kathleen Sullivan
• White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs head Cass Sunstein
• Appellate Judge Kim Wardlaw
• Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.
• Federal Appeals Judge Diane Wood

The consensus first tier includes Kagan, Wood and Garland, while some add Napolitano to the list.

A DHS spokesperson over the weekend said Napolitano was "flattered," but that she's focused on her duties. Patrick's answer, when asked if he would be interested: "No." Granholm's office released a statement that leaves any door wide open.

But Klobuchar had the best response, when asked whether she would be a contender. Appearing on MSNBC's "Hardball" on Friday, Klobuchar said she had skeletons in her past.

"I couldn't get it because of my past speeches. You know, all the times -- remember Sotomayor, the 'wise Latina woman'? You can't imagine how many times I referred to myself as a 'wise Slovenian woman,' Chris. It's over," she said.
