In Andrew Jackson's day, the courts passed some law (I forget the details) that Jackson didn't want. He said, "great, they've had their say, now let them enforce it."
That was the "Trail of Tears" law. The Governor of Georgia illegally seized Cherokee land and expelled them to Oklahoma. The Cherokees took it to the Supreme Court and they won. Jackson issued his famous statement and did not interfere in the matter. It is the only time in U.S. history that that has ever happened. Are you saying that it is legal for a state to seize your land and hand it over to someone else?
If Florida's constitution is made up the same way, Jeb Bush should have just called the police and said, "stand down".
No he couldn't have. The police there were municipal police under the control of the mayor. The governor is not their boss.
I'm not sure Pres. Bush had the authority (states rights issues), but I do believe Gov. Bush probably did.
The President did not have any authority to act. The Governor's actions were similarly constrained by the state constitution. He issued his executive order and it was declared "unconstitutional" by the courts.
