The problem with the Andrew Jackson approach is that Trump would have to get several agencies to ignore a court ruling and act on his orders. They’re not likely to do that. Jackson simply refused to lift a finger in response to a court order. That was a whole lot easier to pull off since he didn’t have to make anyone do anything.

They carried out his first order, so what makes you think they would ignore this order? Not saying your wrong. Just saying they didn’t have any problem doing what his first EO called for.

Not sure if anyone responded to your post as I have not read through the rest of the thread-

but indeed Jackson had to do a lot after the ruling regarding the removal of Cherokee from the SE US. He had to organize a troop escort, collect the Cherokee from several states territory and move thousands of Indians over 600 miles of the central US to Indian Territory (Oklahoma), spending federal money and using US troops and agents, buying food and supplies all the way. That action required coordinated effort from most major departments of the US Gov at the time. The court has no forces to enforce the rulings it makes, only the good will of the executive and congress to facilitate enforcement via lawful means like spending money ( congress) or providing force ( executive).

We have kowtowed to the elite bench sitters for centuries, to our harm.
