Although Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan doesn’t need anyone else to help provide moments of levity in the otherwise interminable confirmation process, Twiharder Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) did her darndest to keep up and be culturally relevant at the same time. Klobuchar asked Kagan the ultimate question of our time: Edward or Jacob?

Everyone knows that when it comes to Twilight, you have to commit to either the vampire or the werewolf, and you can never love both. Klobuchar, naturally, was right there for last night’s midnight premiere of the next installment of the vampire saga and, if her comments are any indication, she comes down squarely on the side of Edward, the sparkly-skinned vamp that won Bella’s heart.

Kagan, for her part, refused to comment on any case that might come before her court. Obviously, she knows it’s all about Jacob.
