Acerca de esta escucha

5-4 is a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks. It's a progressive and occasionally profane take on the ideological battles at the heart of the Court's most important landmark cases; an irreverent tour of all the ways in which the law is shaped by politics. Visit fivefourpod.com to learn more.


Presented by Slow Burn co-creator Leon Neyfakh, 5-4 is a production of Prologue Projects.

    No Due Process, Yes Jumbo Plane [SUBSCRIBER-ONLY]

  • Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier

    Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier
    May 6 2025

    The Supreme Court has been stripping away students' free speech rights for decades. They don't want you to think for yourself or speak your mind. You might end up making podcasts like this.


    Thank you to our wonderful subscribers! It's only with your support that we can remind you about the impending repression of free thinking in our educational systems.

    Following the 9/11 attacks, both liberal and conservative justices contributed to the rise of some authoritarian powers that the Trump administration is now wielding today.


    ERRATA: Henry Blodget is no longer the CEO of Business Insider.

These folks know what they're talking about when it comes to case law. Yes, they have a left wing bias, but that is good, because generally so does reality.

Informative and amazing work.

If you're wondering why things in America seem not great right now, these guys break down the historical and current forces for why brilliantly through the lens of exposing the flaws of one of the country's most powerful and under-examined broken institutions. This show frequently leaves me angry, but also more informed. The hosts' colorful, crass humor is a welcome bit of honey to help some miserable medicine go down.

Necessary

The case covers are really great. I love listening to them and wish I had them while in law school.

The more political ones not connected to cases are extreme and biased to the left. They're so cringy its hard to listen to. They make attacks that make no sense (e.g. tell Alito to come out and say he doesn't know what the flag means but actually did do that, they just don't provide the whole statement).

Their leaps in logic are insane. A flag a wife puts up somehow shows that a justice is a fascist, with no other evidence. But pesky details like Merchan recusals? Never even possibly mentioned.

Case episodes are amazing and a huge service. Political episodes are hack jobs.
