Turns out Elena Kagan has a sense of humor.

This made me smile.

She is smart. She is learned in the law. And she has the ability to function well under extreme pressure.

These are traits that helped Elena Kagan navigate the pitfalls of six years as dean of Harvard Law School and the past year as the Obama Administration’s top lawyer at the US Supreme Court.

But there’s another quality – a gift – that is on full display during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings this week.

Kagan is funny.

And not just clever-witty, either. Sometimes she is laugh-out-loud delightful.
