  • Summary

  • 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.

    Fischer v. United States
    Aug 20 2024

    Did the January 6th riot "obstruct an official proceeding"? That depends on how you interpret that very straightforward and unambiguous phrase.

    Barbie doesn't have shit on John Roberts. Now that he's killed off Chevron deference, Roberts can be an aircraft safety inspector, biomedical researcher, highway planner, nutritionist, Atlantic herring fishing boat monitor ... the possibilities are endless!

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

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.
