Description
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.

Santa isn't the only one who keeps a naughty and nice list. And if your organization winds up on the United States' list of bad boys (designated terrorist organizations), you can forget about receiving legal representation or assistance from US-based firms. That's material support, according to this holding, even if that support doesn't contribute to terrorism in any way.If you're not a 5-4 Premium member, you're not hearing every episode!

We're joined by Balls and Strikes' Jay Willis in this emergency episode to talk about Trump v. Anderson, which challenged Colorado removing Trump from the primary ballot. In a shocking twist, the Court held that Colorado can't do that.

You can't sue the President if they wronged you, as long as what they did was in the course of their official duties. And maybe possibly if they did it out unofficially out of spite, or because they were just feeling crimey that day.

Maybe a better way to phrase it would be, "You have the right to refuse interrogation."
Let's be clear, Tompkins PROBABLY shot that kid. But that's not the important thing. The important thing is that he had his rights violated.
So illuminating.
You guys are wrong on this one. I don't disagree with the need for labor laws and protections. I believe in unions and the public good they render. However, unions are private entities. They are not government licensing or safety bodies. They are not affiliated with any government office on the local, state, or federal level. Not OSHA or depart of labor, or EEOC. Passing a regulation to force private companies to allow other private organizations to enter their property and interrupt their business activities 3 hours a day uolp to 120 days. Assuming calendar days and not business days, this is a third of the year. If business days, then this is almost HALF!!
starting to wonder if ticky-tack is lawyer slang or smth because I swear one of them says it once per episode and I've never heard anyone else say it
You guys are so bad lmao
Horrifying.
Crooked Media, fucking lol.
libelous and deranged.
if they'd cut down on the giggling and laughing it would be great. but I can't listen to it as is.
this is the podcast equivalent of doomscrolling. 10/10.
I have an unhealthy obsession with American politics (I'm Dutch) and this podcast scratches that itch exactly!
all the conservatards mad because they say true things about the cops lololol
This program is nothing but a group of socialist (presumably millennial) police hating, leftist bafoons who want to sit and bash the Supreme Court and our American Justice system. I am a Constitutionalist, and I believe in strict adherence. Granted, the Supreme Court does in fact often make bad decisions that are contrary to the Constitution, but in so far as this specific program on Qualified Immunity, these so called “attorneys” truly show their ignorance. Apparently these “attorneys”, who are so disgusting and disrespectful towards law enforcement, had to start this podcast program because no law firm would actually hire their idiot rear-ends. They are not attorneys, they are just activists. Perhaps if they studied and better understood UOF issues, and had a better understanding of actual police tactics performed in accordance with the rule of law, not to mention if they told the entire fact pattern of specific cases rather than cherry-picking what they share to benefit their progre
I absolutely love this show! I especially love hearing different perspectives on cases I had to read during law school. It's almost enough to make me want to go back to law school to discuss the cases again...almost.
🔥 ep
From the two comments that I have read, clearly this podcast appears to be an anti-conservative, left-wing attack on the Supreme Court. I’ll remind all of you who are listening to this podcast that the Supreme Court is there to maintain the balance when compared to the constitution. It is not there to make law. It is not there to promote an agenda. It is there to verify the constitutionality based on the constitution, not personal feelings. I’m going to start listening, because to make an opinion and post it here in the comment section without doing so would be unfair. But, I do have a feeling that I’m going to be disappointed. We’ll have to see.
Love this show! Thanks so much for researching and producing it. I've learned a lot. Would appreciate a show that talks about the threat posed to Chevron review and the greater conservative project to destroy good governance once y'all get through going through the Court's worst recent decisions.
🔥🙌 damn...SCOTUS be fu*!ed
