It is amazing how many in the public think their legislators
actually draft those laws that get voted upon. In realty, many
bills are presented to the Hill Critter by the lobbyist; be it
one from an ILEC, the FBI [excuse me, we call those "Legislative
Affairs Branch employees"], drug company, Perdue, Ashcroft, etc.

Sure the words might get massaged a little, later on, but....
And in all cases, remember the lesson of Watergate: 
        Follow The Money
to figure out where the bill came from initially.
