President Jackson IGNORED the US Supreme Court in the matter of the Cherokee. The court ordered him to cease and desist with moving them and yet he did it anyway. Nothing was ever done to the President for that act of illegality.it is an interesting scenario. What if a state ignored a ruling against it such as the issue on gay marriage? Would the court have any power to force the state to comply with its ruling? It is the uLtimate voluntary authority because a state may not comply if it thinks it decision was way out of line.
