I kinda did these comics out of order, but this event would have been just a few months before the Nullification Proclamation (see comic 970), when Jackson cemented the Supreme Court’s authority on Constitutional matters. 1832 was a year of states rights as it aligns with Andrew Jackson’s personal agenda.

Three panel comic with President Andrew Jackson and Chief Justice John Marshall in front of the Supreme Court.
Panel 1: Jackson says, "Instead of reforming the Supreme Court, one can simply not listen to them. Remember Worcester V. Georgia?" Marshall says "Georgia can't seize Cherokee land. It's against the rules.
Panel 2: Jackson quotes himself "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it." Jackson continues, "Didn't I say something like that?" Marshall says "Yeah... something like that."
Panel 3: Jackson now has the Chief Justice in a headlock with his cane, Marshall yells "Hey! Let me go!" Jackson says "Who's going to make me?! Are YOU going to make me, Chief Justice John Marshall?"
