IMHO This seems to me to be one of those 'I need to do something to make it look like I do something' type of moves. You see this here alot on the local level. When it comes close to election time politicians will start scrambling to attach themselves to an issue and pass a law that generally means nothing and changes even less. This way when questioned about what they did they can spin it. This one can be spinned as "He pioneered a law that gave parents the tools to prevent violent entertainment from getting into the hands of their children" While opponents can spin it as "He opposed a law that limited free expression in the entertainment industry"

All in all politicians in general care more about how much spin mileage that they can get out of a law at election time then what the effect it will have on the constituents.
