Lmao yeah of course. Checks and balances are based on power struggles, and the Judicial Branch is inevitably gonna get fucked over at some point in history

The Trail of Tears was the result of Andrew Jackson blatantly ignoring a Supreme Court ruling. He actually told John Marshall to find an army to enforce his ruling if he wanted it obeyed that badly. Then he killed a bunch of indigenous by marching them from Georgia to Oklahoma.

It ended okay for Jackson, considering he got to be on the 20. It ended less well for all the people who got ethnically cleansed

Andrew Jackson.

FDR also attempted to pack the Supreme Court with six more sycophant judges because some of his New Deal proposals weren't passing.

And it kind of worked, because while he didn't succeed in packing the court, the court backed the fuck off.

>>1086996
Still, it definitely wasn't good PR for FDR at the time. Got re-elected two more times though because the Republican competition was incompetent.

The actual relocation happened under the next administration, it is true Jackson supported the relocation though.

Many early americans did not support the idea of Judicial review

Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1942 a group of German saboteurs were landed in Florida and Long Island. They were all picked up within two weeks. Roosevelt brought in his attorney general and said: They will be tried in a military court, they will be executed, it should happen within three weeks, and tell the Supreme Court if they issue a writ of habeas corpus, I will not honor, and therefore they should not issue it. I am the commander in chief in wartime. They aren’t.

Holy shit. How was a never taught about this?

>>1087066
Because we cant do anything to portray FDR as anything less than a hero

>>1087077
Yea, besides you know, the internment camps and the courtpacking plan, but keep stroking that FDR hatejerk.

>>1087066
Because it isn't relevant at all?

>>1087009
True, the major forced relocations were under Van Buren but the ruling itself was under Jackson and he violated it himself before leaving. So double yes to op, both Jackson and Van Buren allowed action contrary to a SC ruling because we gotta get rid of those "wily savages"

>>1087066
I'm more confused about why the modern American left idolizes him. He prized safety during wartime over people's personal liberties, but the same people who cry about the Patriot Act think FDR was some infallible saint

like ok lmao tell that to all the people who had to sell their property for cheap and move to the middle of the desert

>>1086826
Congress > President > Supreme Court

>>1087119
The left is a mob. Mob moves left.

>6,000 deaths is ethnic cleansing

>>1087119
everything looks good after fighting Hitler

even Stalin had a brief period where people liked him (then he became more of an asshat after the war).

>>1087854
>Ethnic cleansingis the systematic forced removal ofethnicor religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic group, with the intent of making it ethnicallyhomogeneous.

>>1087066
It is entirely constitutional to suspend haveas corpus during wartime

Congress can always impeach.

Plus you know, WW2 was a war with a clear objective that once achieved would bring the conflict to an end.

The patriot act is not something that will ever end, nor will the "war on terror", we went from al-qaeda to ISIS and there will be some other group later. It's really not hard to understand when you think about it for a while.
