I doubt very, very much that the police are going to try to pin a "texting while driving" charge on someone who is driving erratically unless they actually witness the driver doing so, especially as there are already perfectly good laws about driving erratically that can be applied.

Now if you said the Congresspeople should have bigger issues to deal with than this, THERE I'd agree with you.
Out of the millions of drivers I have driven by, behind, on the side....whatever, I have witnessed maybe 3 people texting.

All 3 were obvious too.

My problem isn't with THEM, but with those cases that aren't so obvious. How do you prove, or disprove, that someone was texting? Because a way to do that had better exist.
