  1. Michael Liroff· Host0:00

    We will hear argument this morning in case 241287, Learning Resources versus Trump.

  2. Leon Neyfakh0:05

    [upbeat music] Hey, everyone. This is Leon from Prologue Projects. On this week's episode of 5 to 4, Peter, Rhiannon, and Michael are talking about Learning Resources v. Trump. Early last year, President Trump issued a series of executive orders imposing tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China. Then, in the spirit of inclusivity, he expanded the tariffs to include every other country on Earth.

  3. Donald Trump· Soundbite0:31

    My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day. Been waiting for a long time.

  4. Leon Neyfakh0:37

    [applauding] To issue these tariffs without congressional approval, Trump relied on a statute called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which allows the president to impose economic sanctions and regulate importation during national emergencies. When the tariffs took effect, two small businesses sued the administration. And just a few weeks ago, on February 20th, the Supreme Court ruled against Trump.

  5. Donald Trump· Soundbite1:00

    And I'm ashamed of certain members of the Court. Absolutely ashamed.

  6. Leon Neyfakh1:04

    This is 5 to 4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks, even when they get it right.

  7. Peter Shamshiri· Host1:10

    [upbeat music] Welcome to 5 to 4, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have chased away our civil rights like Iran chasing influencers out of Dubai.

  8. Leon Neyfakh1:24

    Mm.

  9. Peter Shamshiri· Host1:25
