“We fought a civil war to establish one sovereignty, the U.S. government,” Newt Gingrich announced to Bill O’Reilly tonight in a discussion of how Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has declared that he will not allow a Trump administration to deport illegal aliens who have committed felonies in Chicago.  Thus, said Newt, the federal government has a “right” to order mayors to do whatever it wants them to do.

So the “Civil War” was fought to abolish the Tenth Amendment after all, and to consolidate all political power in Washington, D.C.  Well, Newt, as any Catholic priest would say, it’s never too late to confess.
