>> Who was it, Jefferson?, that said something like 'I'm aware of the judges order, now let him enforce it.'?

Chief justice Marshall's decision held that the Cherokees formed a nation with clearly defined boundaries within which "the laws of Georgia can have no force." Based on this ruling the citizens of Georgia could not enter Cherokee territory.

In response to Justice Marshall's ruling Jackson said: "The Supreme Court has made it's decision, now let them enforce it." In doing so he ignored the Courts order.

Thanks, leave it to FR to find someone who not only knows what they’re talking about, but what “I’m” talking about.
