Jefferson was the first to warn of the dangers of the Supreme Court, but the Federalist minority at the time was still strong enough to protect the court and allow it to assume so much power under the tenure of Jefferson's cousin John Marshall.

The very same Chief Justice Marshall who made a ruling which the President disagreed with. Andrew Jackson said, Now let the CJ enforce his rule.

[because of course Marshall did not have any troops -- yet today in Florida, a lowly probate judge has been able to convince all the sheriffs' depts that he controls them]
