GOP-controlled media playing "Expectations Game" part 2
What is Senator John McCain's opinion about the FISA bill?

When that tainted House resolution makes its way to the Senate, all the Senators will be asked to make their opinion known. Will McCain support his Party's stance that the 4th Amendment is antiquated, or will he show what a maverick he is by voting against it?

Or, will he show what a leader he is by urging his fellow Senators to defeat the destruction of the 4th Amendment?

The vote is expected this week, but the GOP-controlled media has not covered this part of the story.

Nor have they discussed his connections to the telecom industry and telecom lobbyists.
