  • 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.
