("Justice Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it"--Pres. Andrew Jackson)

Unfortunately, Jackson said this in regard to the forced march of the Cherokee Indians to Oklahoma in cold weather beginning in October of 1838, resulting in the death of more than 1/4 of them. The Cherokee had adopted American ways, educated their children, some of whom became lawyers, and appealed their case to the Supreme Court, where they WON. Then they were removed and killed anyway. I'm sure you didn't mean THAT context.

I thought it had to do with the national bank.

I still like the sentiment, but maybe not reason behind the statement at the time.
