I think that's Andrew Jackson's statement about (the great) CJ John Marshall.
OK. Now I'm going to look it up.
Forgive me. My research shows I have mixed my historic quotes.
Jackson did so state about CJ Marshall's opinion regarding the government policy toward the Cherokee Indians.
In regards to Lincoln, I found the following:
"Among the 13,000 people arrested under martial law was a Maryland Secessionist, John Merryman. Immediately, Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States issued a writ of habeas corpus commanding the military to bring Merryman before him. The military refused to follow the writ. Justice Taney, in Ex parte MERRYMAN, then ruled the suspension of habeas corpus unconstitutional because the writ could not be suspended without an Act of Congress. President Lincoln and the military ignored Justice Taney's ruling."

I apologize for the error.
As president, Jackson supported Georgia in its effort to deprive the Cherokee nation of its land. Jackson claimed that he had "no power to oppose the exercise of sovereignty of any state over all who may be within its limits." The Cherokee appealed to the Supreme Court, and in Worcester v. Georgia, Chief Justice John Marshall ruled against Georgia. Marshall stated that the federal government had exclusive jurisdiction over Native American lands. To this Jackson is said to have replied, "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it." Of course the court had no enforcement power of its own, so the decision was ignored.
Now that's the way a real president takes care of business.
