  1. Washington had 2 Primary Lieutenants: Hamilton VS. Jefferson. John Adams sat in the Hamilton camp. Andrew Jackson the Jefferson camp.

      1. Chief Justice Marshal sought to establish a precedent of Legislative Review. Jackson chopped the head off of that attempt which would have expanded the powers of the Supreme Court: to not only declare a law passed by Congress and the President as UnConstitutional. But to re-write that UnConstitutional Law to make it fit within the parameters of the Constitution as the Court interpreted the intent of the Constitution and then impose that rewritten law as the law of the land. That’s Legislative Review which Jeffersonian Jackson stopped dead in its tracks.

        No other Supreme Court Chief Justice after Jackson shoot down Chief Justice Marshal’s attempt to impose the precedent of Legislative Review in the matter of the forced march of the Indians from Florida to Oklahoma. Jackson made his famous declaration: “Chief Justice Marshal has made his decision … now let me see him enforce it!”

        Jackson closed down the 2nd National Bank. Not till Woodrow Wilson would a US President renew a 3rd National Bank, which we refer to as “the Federal Reserve”. Under Jackson’s Hong Kong free banking system, the US economy transformed itself in just a few decades to one of the largest most powerful economies on the planet earth, second only to the economy of the British empire by the time of the Civil War!! That’s the genocidal maniac you refer to Lobotero?
