Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagen sat in front of the U.S. Senate pondering a question that has been plaguing this country this month. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, of Minnesota, informed Elena Kagen that the question she wanted to ask was one that had been on her mind since she took a group of teenage girls to the midnight screening of the third Twilight movie the night before. It was the question of Edward vs. Jacob, or vampire vs. werewolf. Elena Kagen let her know that she wished the question were not asked, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar graciously moved things along. She commented on Kagen's inability to comment on any cases that might come before her in the future, and let her off the hook. Obviously, the nomination of a Supreme Court justice has nothing to do with teenage girls. Kagen made it quite clear that Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series is not on her radar. She best be careful walking through the streets alone late at night. Not that I'm saying she needs to look out for vampires or werewolves-- just the teens coming home from the movie theater still waiting for their answer!
