MIKE HUCKABEE HAS ASKED TRUMP TO DO SOMETHING INTERESTING.
YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT OLD SCHOOL?
IN 1832 A SUPREME COURT DECISION
CAME OUT AGAINST WHAT THE JACKSON ADMINISTRATION WANTED
AND AFFIRMED THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE CHEROKEE NATION.
ANDREW
JACKSON DIDN'T WANT THAT SO HE
DID SOMETHING UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND LEFT A STAIN ON HIS LEGACY.
HE IGNORED THE SUPREME COURT AND SAID WE ARE NOT A COUNTRY OF
LAWS.
HE FORCIBLY REMOVED CHEROKEE NATION FROM GEORGIA.
THAT IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE TRAIL OF TEARS.
OVER 4000 PEOPLE
DIED ON THAT JOURNEY.
IT IS ONE
OF THE DARKEST SPOTS IN OUR DEMOCRACY.
HUCKABEE IS SAYING IF
THE COURT'S RULING AGAINST YOUR
TRAVEL BAN JUST DO LIKE ANDREW JACKSON DID.
THAT IS AMAZING.
>> HE KNOWS ENOUGH ABOUT HISTORY TO REFERENCE THAT.
>>HE IS NOT ALONE.
A GUY THAT IS PART OF THE FREEDOM PARTY THINKS
THE SAME.
" YOU CAN DO LIKE ANDREW JACKSON DID, WHEN HE
DEFIED THE SUPREME COURT AND HAD THE TRAIL OF TEARS."
HE IS
SAYING YOU SHOULD DO- IGNORE THE COURTS AND THE LEGISLATIVE BODY.
I TOLD YOU THESE CONSERVATIVES ñ THEY DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IN OUR
SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT OR IN THE CONSTITUTION.
HE JUST BELIEVES
THERE SHOULD BE ONE GUY AND HE SHOULD BE THE RULER OF ALL OF
US.
WILLIAM JOHNSON SPECIFICALLY SAID TRAIL OF TEARS, YES, THAT
WAS GREAT.
>>I REMEMBER ANDREW JACKSON UPENDED THE ASSISTANT POLITICAL
ORDER ON A SURGE OF POPULIST SENTIMENT HE WAS ABLE TO
MARGINAL FOR HIS OWN PURPOSES.
THE FACT THAT TRUMP IS STYLING
HIMSELF IN THE IMAGE OF JACKSON SHOULD BE DISQUIETING.
>> I SLIGHTLY DISAGREE.
IT IS ALMOST ALL OF THE CONSERVATIVES
THAT ARE FULL OF IT.
RAND PAUL I THINK IS PRETTY CONSISTENT, BUT MOST OF THEM
IF THE LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION DON'T FAVOR THEM THEY SLIGHTLY
FORGET IT.
>> AGAIN, I WANT TO BE CLEAR THE ANDREW JACKSON REFERENCE THAT
HUCKABEE MADE IS TO IGNORE THE
SUPREME COURT.
HE SAYS HE WILL IGNORE IT AND LET THE COURT
ENFORCE THEIR ORDER.
BY THE WAY TRUMP IS ON THE ANDREW JACKSON
BANDWAGON ALREADY.
HE HAS A HUGE PICTURE OF HIM UP IN THE OVAL
OFFICE.
HE HAS GONE TO THE HOME OF ANDREW JACKSON AND
SAID HE WAS INSPIRATIONAL AND A BELOVED
PRESIDENT.
ANDREW JACKSON'S
RECORD IS MIXED.
HE WAS A POPULIST.
IF ALL THESE
CONSERVATIVES ARE CELEBRATING
THAT AT LEAST YOU HAVE INSIGHT ON HOW TO VIEW THE REST OF US.
>> JACKSON HAD A POPULIST MANDATE THAT OVERRODE WHATEVER
INSTRUCTIONS THE SUPREME COURT WOULD'VE PUT ON HIM.
WHO KNOWS
HOW THAT WILL MANIFEST WITH TRUMP.
>>AND
HUCKABEE IS ONE OF THOSE THAT TRIES TO CLAIM HE IS A POPULIST.
>>YOU CAN BE A POPULIST AND STILL BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY AND
CHECKS AND BALANCES AND THE
CONSTITUTION.
BUT INSTEAD THEY TAKE IT IN THIS RIGHT-WING
DIRECTION THAT AS SOON AS YOU
SAY I AM WITH YOU THEY SAY NOW I AM THE RULER.
