Seems like I'm not the only one who is surprised that we're still not voting yet. Our knowledge of how a bill becomes law proved to be very inadequate.

Markup is a rewrite, the senators post the bills, others will see it and gather around to rewrite it. Change this bit and that bit, to make it more passable. After the markup, we'll have debate, and then we'll have vote.

Ofcourse, we don't know how many debates will there be, it could be just one and it could be much more. Chances are, this is going to be pass later half of the year. Remember, we still have to go through the House.
