I just want to point out the falsehood that McCain co-sponsored that bill in 2005. The speech by McCain that is frequently referenced occurred over a year after the bill had already died in committee and if you look up the bill, it doesn't list McCain as a sponsor.
That said, it looks like he sponsored the bill in 2006, although it doesn't look like it even made it to committee.
