A colorful Andrew Jackson quote. The Bank War was a little more complex and Jackson himself was no innocent.

He also said:

All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.

John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!

I am a firm believer that we should not judge people from the past using the moral standard of today. Remember that even Obama opposed gay marriage up until a couple years ago.

And yet you quoted someone from the past as an exemplar regarding a moral issue of today. You kinda opened that door.

It's a relevant quote that matches the sentiment many of us have toward banks which are "too big to fail".
