  • Biden, Harris, and the Future of Court Reform (SUBSCRIBER-ONLY)
    Aug 27 2024

    This is a subscriber-only episode about Biden's proposals for reforming the Supreme Court... will the hosts of 5-4 say "we do"?


    Thank you to all of our subscribers — it's only through your support that 5-4 has survived long enough to see the White House propose Supreme Court term limits.

  • Fischer v. United States
    Aug 20 2024

    Did the January 6th riot "obstruct an official proceeding"? That depends on how you interpret that very straightforward and unambiguous phrase.

  • Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo
    Jul 30 2024

    Barbie doesn't have shit on John Roberts. Now that he's killed off Chevron deference, Roberts can be an aircraft safety inspector, biomedical researcher, highway planner, nutritionist, Atlantic herring fishing boat monitor ... the possibilities are endless!

  • Snyder v. United States
    Jul 16 2024

    We once again revisit the idea that a bribe is only a bribe if it's in a pillowcase with a dollar sign on it, or from a check with "in exchange for illegal favors" on the memo line.


    Thank you so much for being a Premium subscriber! This episode is a token of our gratitude *wink wink*

  • Trump v. United States
    Jul 2 2024

    Take a deep breath. John Roberts just handed Donald Trump the keys to the country and said "don't bother bringing it back in one piece."
