He lobbied against the passage of the Indian Removal Act and gained the support of some prominent Whigs, but it passed. He filed suit in the Supreme Court against the state of Georgia in protest of state laws that punished the Cherokee. The Court ruled that state laws did not apply to Indian affairs but that did not help the Cherokee where federal law was concerned. He tried to get a treaty approved that would delay the removal of the Cherokee but another faction in the Cherokee nation signed a different treaty that agreed to the removal.
