"John Marshall has made his decision." "Now let him enforce it" - Andrew Jackson

Last edited Fri Dec 29, 2017, 01:07 PM - Edit history (1)

This was the famous quote after the Supreme Court ruled in the 1832 case of Worcester v. Georgia that the Cherokee Indians did not have to be moved west of the Mississippi River.

Knowing Congress supported him, Jackson arrogantly thumbed his nose at the court and did it anyway, which would lead to the Trail of Tears.

Nothing Trump does or says surprises me anymore. The message that needs to be echoed by all is "Look at how the Republicans say nothing and allow this Trump Shitshow to continue."

That is a truthful message that will help the Democrats take back Congress in 2018!
