McCain, more Bushist every day

McCain flip-flops on the surveillance state. It turns out that he loves Big Brother after all.

It's especially amusing when a politician does a 180 and then sends out a message that gratuitously and dishonestly insults people who hold the position he himself used to hold:

Mr. McCain believes that “neither the administration nor the telecoms need apologize for actions that most people, except for the A.C.L.U. and trial lawyers, understand were constitutional and appropriate in the wake of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001,” Mr. Holtz-Eakin wrote.

Four more years! Who needs the Fourth Amendment? Who needs Congress?

More Bushist depredations of the Constitution.
