  • It’s happened before

    The Supreme Court, under Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that Georgia had no right to enforce laws within Cherokee territory because Native American tribes were sovereign nations. The ruling was a major victory for the Cherokee, affirming their legal right to remain on their land.

    Jackson’s Response

    Instead of enforcing the ruling, Jackson allegedly responded: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” (Though there’s debate about whether he actually said this.) Jackson sided with Georgia’s state government, which ignored the Supreme Court ruling and continued its efforts to remove the Cherokee people.

    Congress viewed Jackson’s decision as a matter of executive discretion. Jackson was popular and nothing happened to him for defying the supreme court. This exposed the inability of the Supreme Court to force a president to comply, if they didn’t also have the support of Congress.






  • Their insurance is (was?) kind of like that as well if you get the saftey score one. While some things are more general and concrete like following distance, time of day driving, they have one for forward collision warnings.

    I’m not sure how much time you’ve spent in a Tesla, but that system is notorious for going off incorrectly. It’s specifically really bad with parked cars on the side of the road on turns. So you’re driving along a city street with cars parked on the side and it goes off and now your insurance premiums are more expensive.

    I don’t think you could find a single Tesla owner who hasn’t had multiple false warnings, and consistently in certain circumstances.

    So someone of course starts a lawsuit and Tesla initially defends itself, but just last week or something like that, it’s no longer part of the safety score
