Well here are your number 949 George W. Bush and Richard Cheney versus Albert Gore at L.

Hey everyone, I'm Leon Nevok, co-creator of Slow Burn and Fiasco.

I'm here to introduce 5-4, a weekly Supreme Court podcast featuring America's most uncivil lawyers.

On today's show, your host's Peter, Rianne, and Michael are talking about a case that decided a presidential election.

Bush v. Gore.

The story starts on election night 2000 when Americans went to bed not knowing which candidate had won,

because the vote in Florida was too close to call.

A vote so close that under Florida law, it must be recounted.

The Gore campaign, they will fight this issue of the Florida ballot until every vote is clear.

In the end, the Supreme Court effectively handed the presidency to George W. Bush.

The ruling strikes down the Florida Supreme Court recount plan as unconstitutional.

This is 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks,

and the only Supreme Court podcast without a pending title 9 investigation.

That's right.

Very proud of that.

Each episode we're going to dissect one of the many Supreme Court decisions that make all of our lives just a little bit worse every single day.

And today is a big one.

Bush v. Gore, maybe the most shameless decision in Supreme Court history.

But before we really dig in, we want to go around the room, talk about who we are, why we're doing this,

and how much we're getting paid.

I am Peter, better known on Twitter, at least, as the law boy.
