If we're going to have a full on constitutional crisis with Trump well and truly going full dictator, I guess I'd rather have it be now with this case than later with, say, the next election. Let it come to a head now while there's still some cohesion against him and we'll see if we really are in a dictatorship after all. |
Supposedly Andrew Jackson is said to have responed to Worcester v. Georgia (a landmark Supreme Court decision which laid the groundwork for the relationship between Native American tribes and the government) as follows: "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." However, this comment appeared in Horace Greeley's newspaper 20 years after Jackson was dead. However, in a letter, Jackson did say that "the decision of the Supreme Court has fell still born, and they find that they cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate," and he also joked that since the Supreme Court was made up of what he felt were northern partisans, that the Massachusetts militia should go and enforce the court's ruling.
