Don't we need strong Presidents that will resist the tyranny of judicial activism? Or only when they agree with us?

Andrew Jackson had some awesome qualities as well, he was one of the most intense enemies of the idea of a central bank!

He was also the last president to pay off the national debt.

that is the whole problem though, if they replace it with single ruler tyranny, it becomes a dictatorship. Show me where that is inaccurate.

There is never a reason for this to go to the SCOTUS. If an American citizen is accused of ANY crime, he is guaranteed certain rights. Period.

What a shock coming from someone whose favorite Presidents are FDR and Teddy Roosevelt.

Bump...he is a progressive pushing government down your throat!

So true and yet he is on the twenty dollar "note" go figure.

I've always thought of him as one of my favorite president for these and many other reasons.
