Elena Kagan Grilled on Critical Judicial Matter of Edward vs. Jacob
In her confirmation hearings this week, Supreme Court hopeful Elena Kagan has presented herself as an even-handed and experienced arbiter of our nation's Constitution. And while we may know slightly more about her judicial point of view on such delicate social issues as abortion and gay marriage, only today did Kagan face the most important, polarizing question to date: Team Jacob or Team Edward? Video after the jump.
In actuality, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota withdrew the wrenching inquiry shortly after asking it, backstepping to the less incendiary matter of "werewolves vs. vampires" before finally withdrawing the question altogether. Gripped with visible relief, Judge Kagan regained her composure and hoped against hope she might dodge the committee's inevitable "What the hell is Despicable Me?" query with as much luck and aplomb.

Uh, she's clearly team bella.
Man, CSPAN is really jumping the gun on sweeps.
If she'd responded with "K-STEW POWER" I'd be ready to confirm her as President For Life
Wow. I don't know what's more disgusting, the trivialization of the SCOTUS hearings or the fact that these old broads watch that shit. What, do they beat off to the boys in the film? Brrrrrrrrrr....
So it revolts you when old women experience sexuality, yet when old men do it, you admire them for it?
YOU are the disgusting one, sir. Not the women in question. YOU.
I, for one, am appalled at how she refused to answer. Her snarky response with "I wish you wouldn't" to the Senator asking her that question is crap. You want to be a Supreme Court judge, or a member of the Supremes - which one is it? Then you HAVE to answer all important questions to our country. My tax money is paying for that Senator to ask hard-hitting questions, so don't just cast them aside. How do I know how I feel about you if you won't delve into the serious matter of pro-shirtless guys or pro-shiny people? Dear God, woman, lives are at stake!!!
I was totally about to slam you before I read through to the end of your statement.
Totally true. This..this is just ridiculous.
No-one is team Bella. Period.
