Jacksons response: "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
Yes he did
defiant.
In response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v Georgia that Georgia had no right to interfere with the Cherokee, President Jackson disregarded the decision and removal of the Cherokee proceeded as planned.
Jackson ignored Worcester v. Georgia. This was significant because Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court's decision which said that Georgia couldn't make laws that broke the terms on the authority of which the Cherokee's have the right to govern themselves on. Many people ask can he ignore the Supreme Court? Or, Why didn't the Supreme Court do anything about it? And do you know what I would say. idk. :)
Worcester v. Georgia (1832)
Worcester V. Georgia (1832)
Jackson's comments on the case are known from a letter to John Coffee: "...the decision of the Supreme Court has fell still born, and they find that they cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate," indicating that the Supreme Court could rule however they wanted to, but that they couldn't force anyone to obey them.

Worcester v. Georgia ruled that the Cherokee Tribe "constituted a nation holding distinct sovereign powers." Jackson defied the Supreme Court and kicked the Cherokee out of their homes to Oklahoma. Many died on the Trail of Tears.
In the case of Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the Supreme Court ruled that Georgia's laws did not apply to the Cherokee Nation and that the removal of Native Americans from their lands was unconstitutional. President Andrew Jackson disagreed with the ruling and famously said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it." Jackson refused to enforce the court's decision, leading to the forced removal of Native Americans along the Trail of Tears.
President Jackson did not enforce the ruling.
well.....my dick
