Show notes

A Reading of the Supreme Court case regarding the rights of the Cherokee Nation against the push by Georgia to appropriate their territory. An insight into history not given by the standard texts and well worth listening to, if not reading on your own.

December 10, 1832 - Nullification Proclamation Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Andrew Jackson, generally in favor of states' rights, saw nullification as a threat to the Union. In his view, the federal government derived its power from the people, not from the states, and the federal laws had greater authority than those of the individual states.
It was a warning against secession and against those who would advocate for such. He, as did Washington, warned against such devices and invites from party loyalists, admonishing them as misguided or paid agents.

CHAPMAN, CLERK, CIRCUIT COURT OF MISSOURI, RANDOLPH COUNTY v. JANE DOE, BY NEXT FRIEND ANTHONY E. ROTHERT Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judg- ment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit with instruc- tions to dismiss the case as moot. See United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U. S. 36 (1950).
