Worcester v. Georgia 1832. The Supreme Court told President Andrew Jackson that he didn't have the right to remove the Cherokee from their tribal lands in Georgia. A famous quote attributed to Jackson at that time was, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." Jackson simply ignored the ruling of the Supreme Court, and proceeded to remove the Cherokee. I'm sure that isn't the only time one branch has simply ignored those 'checks and balances'.Also the government branches have checks and balances to make sure no branch becomes too powerful. So it is idiotic to think that the only thing stopping us from tyranny is private gun ownership.
