While there is some debate as to whether or not Jackson actually said it, the phrase attributed to him is

"John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

It should be noted that in the case Jackson was reffering to (a broken treaty with indians) he was in the wrong. I hate when people cite that quote as a symbol of anything poisitive.

Actually, I think two quotes were mixed: The one you cite, and a quote about the Popes battallions/divisions.
