Executive and General Meeting
The State of the Supreme Court with FiveFour Podcast
The 5-4 Podcast joins NDLS ACS over Zoom to discuss the state of the Supreme Court. 5-4 is a self-described "progressive podcast that talks about how much the Supreme Court sucks." The hosts have "progressive and occasionally profane takes 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."
