This silliness about FISA reminds me so much of Whatwater or Whitewater. The Left is going berserk over warrantless wiretapping because it resonates well in the Left echo chamber, for whatever reason, but is a non-starter to rest of us. It really does remind me of Whitewater, which went absolutely nowhere.
When Obama is #44 (McCain is a joke), he will very quietly move to the right on all significant matters related to national security which includes FISA nonsense. If it suits Obama to work around FISA in exchange for national security, he will do so in a heartbeat because he knows the art of survival and one thing that he cannot have on his watch is anything even close to a repeat of 9/11. This political reality will color everything he does even though he goes on and on about "change". He is very coy on national security matters and you can bet that his idea of "change" means more and not less national security programs (some friendly and some not-so-friendly to the Left).
