Eclipse Discussion Makes it All the Way to the US Supreme Court
Team Edward or Team Jacob
During the decision hearings as to the appointment of Elana Kagan to the mostly men filled Supreme Court, Minnesota Senator, Amy Klobuchar showed a real part of herself and her role as a mother by beginning her questioning of Kagan with a light - hearted discussion about Eclipse.
This is the conversation as New England Comcast Network reported it:
The hearings have been going on since Monday and this sparked Klobusher to ask:
"I guess it means you missed the midnight debut of the third Twilight movie last night," Sen. Klobuchar said. "We did not miss it in our household, and it culminated in three 15-year-old girls sleeping over at 3 a.m."
"I didn't see that," Kagan said.
"I keep wanting to ask you about the famous case of Edward v. Jacob, or The Vampire v. The Werewolf," Sen. Klobuchar said, opening her questioning with a bit of lightheartedness.
"I wish you wouldn't," Kagan said with a laugh.
Reaction
Klobaucher seemed okay with combining her professional life as a representative of the people with her role as a mother to joke about what most of the people of America and especially mothers of teen girls are talking about today- Eclipse.
