I know the person who found the articles and passed them on to Leavenworth and a couple other places. Turns out that Bruning’s henchmen forgot to remove the microfiche copies 🙂

The articles I’ve seen date from 1993 to 1994, when he graduated from UNL Law. He began his political career almost immediately upon graduating from law school. He was elected to the legislature in 1996, as a conservative Republican. That’s a big shift in a short time period.

And while he’s been a conservative for most of his public life, the fact that it so quickly followed a time where he was a passionate liberal certainly makes you question whether he sincerely believes any of this, or if he’s just using it to get elected. I know, stupid naive liberal that I am, I actually think politicians should believe in the messages they’re delivering.
