[SPEAKER_01]: Football coach at a public high school claimed a first amendment right to pray on the field during games. [SPEAKER_01]: You weren't trying to convert them? [SPEAKER_02]: Look, I'm a Marine, and the Constitution means something to me.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's always been a freedom thing. [SPEAKER_01]: The result is a muddled bit of Christian propaganda that is much less fun to watch than it is [SPEAKER_01]: This is 5-4. [SPEAKER_01]: A podcast about how much this Supreme Court sucks. [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to Five to Four, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have done a hostile takeover of this country, like Paramount taking over Warner Brothers, I'm Peter, I'm here with a reanning.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is the praying coach. [SPEAKER_02]: There was a coach on a high school football team.

[SPEAKER_02]: You started praying in the middle of the field. [SPEAKER_02]: And then the school district was like, hey, I don't know if you can do that because separation of church and state. [SPEAKER_02]: And then you see it and took it up to the Supreme Court and won. [SPEAKER_02]: And they made a movie about it, folks. [SPEAKER_02]: And by day, I mean, a bunch of Christian dipshits, who don't understand how a film needs to be structured in order to be co-harmonerative or bright.
