Alana Kagan this summer says that the Supreme Court has been damaging its legitimacy.

Is he right?

In my view, yes.

Hey everyone, this is Leon from Fiasco and Prologue Projects.

On this subscriber-only episode of Five to Four, Peter, Rianan and Michael are talking

about the state of Supreme Court media coverage. Almost exactly one year ago, the beginning of

the six-three era. The hosts talked about how the legal media establishment was failing to

accurately depict the court's extreme right-ward shift. Since that episode aired, the study's

stream of plainly partisan decisions coming out of the court have forced some commentators to

reassess their assumptions.

So this is something I never expected to worry about in the United States. The risk that we could

have election subversion, that the person who gets the most votes won't be declared the winner of

the election. Nevertheless, the ecosystem of thought leaders who propped up the court's legitimacy

for so long remains in place, and your hosts are here, as ever, to yank their heads out of the sand.

This is Five to Four, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks.

Welcome to Five to Four, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have

created our civil rights. Like inflation has created the S&P 500. I'm Peter. I'm here with Michael.

Hey everybody. And Riannan. I hope our listeners don't care about that.

As your portfolio, dude. Yeah. I'm trying to slowly transition us into being a

stocks and business podcast. Okay. So Riannan out then. If you don't want that money, so

we're going to get those crypto sponsors soon. And that's when it really takes off for us.

Couple of housekeeping notes up top. Riannan, live from our studio in New York City. Yeah.
