Andrew Jackson
The authority of the Supreme Court must not be permitted to control the Congress or the Executive when acting in their legislative capacities, but to have only such influence as the force of their reasoning may deserve.
Andrew Jackson

A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.
Andrew Jackson
If a warden sees cigarette litter being thrown from a car, they will take the number and trace the owner to send them a fine.

I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun.
Andrew Jackson
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his government deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and a friend to her foe
Andrew Jackson
I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by one state, incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on which it was founded, and destructive of the great object for which it was formed.
Andrew Jackson
