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. :)

The Judicial Branch of government can rule on any case under their jurisdiction; they cannot, however, enforce the ruling as that 'power' is reserved for the executive branch. So the executive can simply ignore the ruling. For example the US Supreme Court held that Georgia could not regulate or make laws that applied to Cherokee land, but President Jackson didn't enforce the Court's decision, so Georgia was able to ignore Chief Justice Marshall's decision with impunity.
President Andrew Jackson chose to ignore the Supreme Court's ruling and displace the Cherokee by force.When her husband left her, her hoarding behavior took over, and now the mess has gotten so unbelievably bad that she has managed to displace herself from her own home, and is living at a homeless shelter.

It is my understanding that President Andrew Jackson and Chief Justice John Marshall were diametrically opposite in their views of Native American rights. In fact, Jackson refused to accept any Supreme Court action that would favor the Native American. For example, in response to the Supreme Court's decision of Worchester v. Georgia, President Jackson was rumored to have said: "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it!" As a result, Georgia would initially ignore Marshall's ruling, however they would eventually avoid federal jeopardy by quietly releasing Worchester.At that time, Native Americans were not even recognized as U.S. Citizens. Moreover, Jackson did not consider Native Americans to be civilized enough to have any constitutional privileges, much less entitlement to the land they were occupying. It is no surprise that he followed-up with the forced removal of Cherokee People, which had been made legitimate by the Indian Removal Act.Even though Jackson's dislike of Native Americans was obvious, it has been suggested that his political motives went beyond his prejudices. Jackson was a strong unionist, and he ignored federal enforcement of Worchester v. Georgia as a token gesture to keep Georgia from further federal alienation (state's rights, secession), as he already felt South Carolina was headed. To further his favor with the South, Jackson even appointed a U.S. Representative from Georgia to the Supreme Court during Marshall's tenure.However, in the long term, Chief Justice Marshall would reach beyond his grave to have the last laugh. Historically, his Supreme Court action in Worchester v. Georgia would be the single most important judicial decision affecting relations between the U.S. and Indian Nations. It would establish a legal precedent that the Indian nations are sovereign and independent of any state's legislation, while being subject only to the U.S. Government. Worchester v. Georgia would be cited many times to affect Supreme Court decisions well into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

ignore the law
Jackson did not ignore any branch; he didn't pay much attention to the judicial, but that's about it.
The US Supreme Court has the authority to overturn a precedent in any case under their review, if they feel the precedent no longer applies to current social and legal circumstances. They can also ignore precedents if they feel a case creates an exception to the rule, for whatever reason.
Yes, as manager he or she is making a decision and is responsible for the outcome.
