Instead of voting his conscience, he made a political choice so as not to be accused of appearing "weak on national security". However, I wonder how Hillary would have voted if she were the candidate. She had nothing to lose in voting nea on the FISA bill. You're absolutely right; "He's not McCain". Little was said about the fact that the old guy didn't even show up to vote on FISA. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Arizona senator has one of the worst voting records in Congress.

On a 2nd note, I hear that the ACLU is preparing a law suit as soon as the FISA bill has been signed by the president.

I truly believe this will eventually be tested in the USSC, which will decide it is unconstitutional.
