5-4

Been listening for a bit now and I've learned so much. They are good at explaining things in a way that's understandable without oversimplifying. You might even laugh

This is a podcast hosted by some of the only public proponents of realist law. They readily identify the ways judicial oversight is not only informed by politics and ideology, but entirely defined by them. This is cutting edge political theory and defenders of the status quo are very threatened by this kind of rhetoric. Keep that in mind when reading some of the other reviews of this podcast.

Imagine, if you will, a group of armchair justices lamenting every decision that doesn’t align with their utopian vision, believing that the Constitution is some sort of living document, one that can be bent, twisted, and reinterpreted until it fits snugly into their progressive mold. That’s precisely what you’ll find in the "5-4" podcast—a delightful exercise in judicial self-flagellation where the hosts, bless their hearts, seem to think that the Supreme Court’s role is to rubber-stamp their personal political beliefs. Instead of appreciating the delicate balance of power and the rich history of constitutional interpretation that has preserved our republic for centuries, they instead engage in what can only be described as legally illiterate bellyaching. They rail against decisions that protect the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the very essence of federalism—because, after all, the Framers couldn’t possibly have foreseen a future where their meticulously crafted document would be subject to the whims of a few podcasters with a microphone and a grudge. In essence, the "5-4" podcast is bad not because it critiques the Supreme Court, but because it does so with such a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the judiciary and the principles that underpin our legal system. It’s as if they believe that if they just complain loudly enough, they might reverse centuries of legal precedent. Alas, that’s not how the law works, but don’t let that stop them from trying.

This podcast is a must listen, the host are thoroughly entertaining!! SCOTUS has been compromised and Robert’s allowed this to happen. It’s infuriating having 6 men with this mush power!! I come for Peter’s new podcast if books could kill, another must listen🥰
