    When the 'Prince' says "Goldfarb '02," it means he graduated in 2002. If the paper wanted to say Goldfarb got out in 1902, the style guide currently says that what should be written is "Goldfarb 1902."

    @ Michael Goldfarb was Class of 2002 - Correction

    Rather, "Goldfarb, Class of 1902." Sorry for the error.

    @ааа
    out of curiosity, what makes you say she is more qualified than sotomayor? sotomayor has actually served as a judge, after all.

    laughable

    Ref to Micheal Goldfarb comment. Can it possibly be that Goldfarb is upset with the notion that referring to him as '02, readers might think he is 127 years old. Math skills much? If so, he should drill a hole in his head and let some of the air out.

    As a woman, I'm so glad that the shortlist is dominated by women. Legal expertise is great, but having another one of us on the big bench is even better.

    So from 1995 to 2003 Kagan did what? It couldn't have all been with the Clinton administration because that ended. Please fill in the gap in the simple narrative.

    @ Michael Goldfarb was Class of 2002. Either you never went to school at PU, or you just have terrible attention to detail. Regardless, you're a clown.

    Awesome representation by PU on the short list!

    My critics are zombies. When this article first went up, there was no class year attached to Michael Goldfarb's name. And no, I am not Goldfarb, but someone who thinks that if Goldfarb wrote for the Nation or TIME, somehow his correct class year would have found its way into the Prince.
