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.

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

    Because the conservatives on the Supreme Court are lowkey homophobic, they have made it easier for parents of kids in public schools to opt out of topics that make them uncomfortable. LGBTQ books, no thank you— evolution, not for my kids.


    Thank you for being a subscriber and for being open-minded, unlike certain justices.

    These “boys” and in some cases “gals” keep proving us right! The 2024-2025 Supreme Court term was a beautiful illustration of this podcast’s entire thesis: this is an institution untethered by law, beholden only to right-wing ideology, and led by a real dipshit Chief Justice.


    Thank you to our beautiful, wonderful subscribers! We LOVE you!

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.
