About this listen

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.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Fire at Will: Trump’s Illegal War in the Caribbean [SUBSCRIBER-ONLY]
    Nov 25 2025

    These days, three degrees of separation from a drug dealer is all it takes to get you drone struck by the U.S. government in Venezuela. And look, maybe these extrajudicial killings aren’t exactly legal, but the bigger problem for all you sissy justice lovers out there is that this administration doesn’t care about the law.


    Thank you to our wonderful subscribers who, unfortunately, are three degrees from a drug dealer. Watch out.

  • Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Lopez-Mendoza

    Immigration and Naturalization Service v. Lopez-Mendoza
    Oct 21 2025

    I think we can all agree that the Constitution guarantees every individual certain unalienable rights–oh wait, sorry, getting a call. Right. Sorry. Okay. Yea. Got it. Hey, so I think we can all agree that immigration law is different from other laws, and the Constitution doesn’t really apply there.


    Thank you to our wonderful subscribers. Our love for you will always apply here.

    Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam
    Nov 18 2025

    If the government is acting all authoritarian-y, detaining you in violation of your rights, there’s a basic assumption in the Constitution that you can use “The Great Writ” of habeas corpus to challenge that unlawful behavior. But Samuel Alito would like to remind you what happens when you ASS U ME. Something something immigrants, something something you’re wrong. So yeah, Constitution HUMILIATED.
