Scalia is rolling in his grave

“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.”Read full review »

“I don’t know if any of you prude academics listened to the first episode, but this is not the boring, nuanced podcast that you’re used to listening to. Who cares if there is profanity? “profanity is a crutch for the ignorant” This is the type of gatekeeping they’re talking about. This podcast is...”Read full review »
