***Should a president use federal troops to enforce a Supreme Court decision?***
Good question. I think of Andrew Jackson and the Cherokees.
“I think of Andrew Jackson and the Cherokees.”
And I think of Jackson and the Seminoles. In those cases, the Supreme Court had no way of stopping the Federal troops.
Federal troops were used to enforce Brown v. Board and if there is a SCOTUS decision imposing gay marriage, I suspect that federal troops would be used to enforce that decision upon local governments that refuse.
