'Twilight: Eclipse': Supreme Court nom Elena Kagan won't rule on Edward vs. Jacob

.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar lightened the mood at the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan on Wednesday (June 30) with a mention of the opening day of "Twilight: Eclipse."

Kagan -- perhaps wisely -- declined to say how she would rule on the issue. Here is her exchange with Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota.

Klobuchar: "You had an incredibly grueling day yesterday, and did incredibly well, but I guess it means you missed the midnight debut of the third "Twilight" movie last night. We did not miss it in our household, and it culminated in three 15-year-old girls sleeping over at 3 a.m. So I have this urge to ask you about..."

Kagan: "I didn't see that."

Klobuchar: "I keep wanting to ask you about the famous case of Edward v. Jacob, or the Vampire v. the Werewolf."

Kagan: "I wish you wouldn't."

Klobuchar: "Well I know you can't comment on future cases, so I'll leave that alone."

Very funny. What's rather sad is that this is probably the only question the general public will ever hear Elena Kagan being asked.
