The Senate passed a resolution Wednesday to make business attire a requirement on the Senate floor.

The moves comes after backlash to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) directive to scuttle the chamber’s informal dress code, which was widely viewed to be inspired by Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.).

The bipartisan resolution requires that business attire be worn on the floor of the Senate, “which for men shall include a coat, tie, and slacks or other long pants.”

The bill does not spell out what the attire includes for women.

    Theater is the only thing U.S. Senate is good at. And maybe getting bribed, but that’s beside the point.

      Are you trying to tell me that you don’t have gold bars in your closet? Who doesn’t have at least one Egyptian gold bar somewhere in their couch cushions?

        I prefer the smell of cash, so I keep my name branded jacket pockets full of them.

          I prefer my bribes… er… contributions in gold just in case I need to relocate quickly to a country without an extradition treaty. Who wants to mess around with exchange rates?

          So she got 3½ years and was released in September 2013. Then in February 2014 she received an award from the mayor of Boston as one of 18 “women of color changing our world.” I wonder where she put the award?

      well, democrats can’t really do much without more votes for avoid filibuster; and the only page in republican’s playbook is obstruction–and they are getting rather ‘good’ at it, having run it for decades.
