Ok, but they're not part of the lawmaking process as far as I know. I suppose they are just voting on whether to bring it to the floor for a vote in the first place.

These committees are useless in my opinion. If you have a bill , you should be able to introduce it and let people vote on it. I mean, that is their job after all.

Oh well, I'm certainly no political authority. Just someone that knows a committee doesn't have to be part of the law making process.

Yea , I know. I was just thinking ideally they aren't needed, but they do serve a valid purpose. On the high level, they make sure bills brought up for vote are ready and not a waste of time.

Thanks

Yeah, but sense isn't what people are looking for. So when this leads nowhere, people get to complain more and that's really what they want.
