Fake Legislation

There needs to be a term for fake legislation. Fake legislation is something that's meant to sound good, but is bad. How many times have we seen fake legislation in the past year? The public doesn't know that the bill is so poor that no self respecting legislator should vote for it. They only know that something that looks like it was going to help got voted down by republicans. So the soplose successfully laundered the bind administration's incompetence through this fake legislation that republicans voted against.
