You might want to write to Rick Santorum and tell him why this is such a

He doesn't care. This just a case of a clever politician introducing a
bill that will score him voter points later no matter the outcome.

I mean, if the bill passes he can say, "Look, I got legislation passed
to increase public safety and favor business interest in the private
sector."

On the other hand, if the bill is shut down he can say, "Hey, I voted
for business interest in the private sector and my opponents voted
against it."

It's a win-win scenario for the guy and the more publicity mileage he
gets out of it the more likely it is for him to be re-elected.
