President Donald Trump may want to avoid taking legal advice from former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.
After a federal judge on Wednesday ordered a hold on Trumps revised travel ban, Huckabee urged the President to ignore the ruling, citing Andrew Jacksons refusal to enforce an 1832 Supreme Court decision affirming the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation. Jackson rejected the decision in Worcester v. Georgia, leading to the forcible expulsion of some 15,000 Cherokee from Georgia along the Trail of Tears. Some 4,000 died on that journey.
According to Huckabee, this is a solid historical precedent.

That is a misquotation of a remark, believed to be apocryphal, that Jackson made about Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshalls ruling in Worcester v. Georgia: "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it."
Other stalwart Trump supporters have held up Jackson as an example for the President to follow.
