5-4 is a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks. Hosted by Peter Shamshiri, Rhiannon Hamam, and Michael Liroff, it's a progressive and occasionally profane take on the ideological battles at the heart of the Court's most important landmark cases and an irreverent tour of all the ways in which the law is shaped by politics.

God forbid any legitimate or irl hardship were ever to befall this soft bug person, lest he unable to square his cognitive dissonance with objective reality. These sadists smell their own farts; but I guess that goes hand in hand with crawling in sewers whenever somebody on the left engages in equally or more heinous acts than their OrangeCrush does. Pretending to care about the victims of the Israeli monster, Epstein seems to be their latest LARP. Had 7 years to voice their outrage. Don’t car... more
The only legal podcast that (a) knows what they're talking about and (b) sees the supreme court for what it truly is.
Canceled my ad-free subscription because, like the law, words don’t mean anything anymore.
I love the show and the hosts, which is why I subscribed and look forward to every single episode. But the subscriber edition, at least on Apple, is a mess. Lately there have been ads, at least for other Prologue Projects, that awkwardly interrupt, and the subscriber episodes load in waaaaaay later (half a day or more) than the “teaser” version. So as a regular show, 5 stars. Paterson version: 3.
I’ve been a fan for almost 4 years but the latest episode about the voting rights act is incredible. The gang has really hit their stride and the history is important to understand. I’m so grateful to have these guys break it down for me. Keep it up. ❤️

A sharp, progressive take on the Supreme Court and its landmark cases, with a blend of rigorous legal analysis and irreverent humor.
