John Marshall has made his decision: now let him enforce it!

Summary

This quote refers to a statement made by U.S. President Andrew Jackson in response to a Supreme Court decision in the early 1800s. The decision, made by Chief Justice John Marshall, favored Native American tribes' rights against state encroachments. However, Andrew Jackson openly opposed the ruling and did not feel obliged to enforce it. This quote reflects Jackson's defiance, implying that he disregards the court's authority and will not take action to implement the decision. It highlights the power struggle between the executive and judiciary branches of government.
