Ahem. The line is widely attributed to President Andrew Jackson, usually quoted as: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.”

He probably didn't say it either, its first appearance is in an 1860s book by Horace Greeley.

From the guy that invaded Florida... I wouldn't be surprised if it was Andrew Jackson though.

You are probably right. Only noticed the comment as he made it recently. Still not exactly reassuring. Mirrors his mindset.
