Trump's mounting threats to defy [9] the growing court decisions [10] against his dictatorial program [11] recall Andrew Jackson's famous words [12] of defiance following the Supreme Court's 1832 decision in Worcester v Georgia [13], which upheld the sovereign rights of the Cherokee Nation [14]. Jackson's subsequent forced relocation [15] of the Cherokee in the Trail of Tears [16] is now echoed in Trump's hubristic and criminal plan to clear Gaza [17] of Palestinians. On the 222nd anniversary of Marbury v Madison [18], in which it was established [19] that the Supreme Court has the last word on what is and isn't constitutional, Bill Weinberg explores the historical parallel.
