Should I even bother asking why this didn’t garner the mainstream media’s attention? McCain says he’ll support George Bush’s doctrine of Presidential War Powers trumping the Bill of Rights, and plans to continue with wiretapping Americans if he sees necessary:

If elected president, Senator John McCain would reserve the right to run his own warrantless wiretapping program against Americans, based on the theory that the president’s wartime powers trump federal criminal statutes and court oversight, according to a statement released by his campaign Monday.McCain’s new tack towards the Bush administration’s theory of executive power comes some 10 days after a McCain surrogate stated, incorrectly it seems, that the senator wanted hearings into telecom companies’ cooperation with President Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program, before he’d support giving those companies retroactive legal immunity.
