The hosts are joined by Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec), founder and executive director of Civil Rights Corps, and the author of Usual Cruelty: The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System. They discuss San Antonio ISD v Rodriguez, an equal protection case from 1973, which is widely cited by conservatives as holding that the equal protection clause does not protect impoverished people.

5-4 is a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks. Hosted by Peter Shamshiri, Rhiannon Hamam, and Michael Liroff, it&#39;s a progressive and occasionally profane take on the ideological battles at the heart of the Court&#39;s most important landmark cases and an irreverent tour of all the ways in which the law is shaped by politics.Subscribe to our premium episodes &amp; much more at fivefourpod.com/support5-4 is a production of Prologue Projects.
