Professor Glenn Reynolds: Will Chicago Suburbs Being Sued Over Gun Violence involve a lot of discovery into the well-documented relationships between Chicago politicians and the street gangs doing the killings ?

Professor Glenn Reynolds asks the question ear mark specialist Barack Obama and Father Michael Pfleger fear most. Yes, this is the same Father Michael Pfleger that donated money to Barack Obama according to USA Today:

He confirmed that Obama steered a $100,000 state grant in 2000 to a Pfleger-affiliated community program.

Pfleger contributed $1,500 to Obama's state Senate campaigns from 1995-2001, Illinois records show.

In 1999, Pfleger broke with many of Chicago's Democrats and supported Obama in his losing attempt to unseat U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush.

Last year, Pfleger invited the Rev. Louis Farrakhan to speak at his church, St. Sabina, which encompasses a large, inner city African American parish.

In response to the latest flap, Colleen Dolan, a spokesman for Cardinal Francis George's office told the Chicago Sun-Times: "The cardinal has made it clear to Father Pfleger in the past on more than one occasion that it's inappropriate to speak about political issues from the pulpit and that his own personal opinions are his own personal opinions."

Do you know Catholic priests making campaign contributions???? Just a reminder, progressive really don't believe in the separation of Church and state.
