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.
Jacksons response: "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
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)
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.

President Andrew Jackson reportedly defied the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which upheld the rights of the Cherokee Nation against state encroachments. Jackson allegedly remarked, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," indicating his refusal to support the Court's decision. This response exemplified his broader policy of Indian removal and highlighted the tension between federal authority and state interests during his presidency. Ultimately, Jackson's inaction allowed Georgia to continue its efforts to remove the Cherokee from their lands.
President Andrew Jackson responded to the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia, which declared Georgia's Indian removal laws unconstitutional, by ignoring the ruling. He famously remarked, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it," indicating his unwillingness to support the Court's authority. This defiance facilitated the continued push for the removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, culminating in the forced relocation known as the Trail of Tears.
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.
