"SNIP.........

John Fetterman is breaking right-wing brains.

.........

Then Fetterman refused to change his "Sunday dad" style of giant shorts and hoodies when he came to Washington, prompting the Democratic-led Senate this week to change its coat-and-tie dress code rules.

Conservatives became apoplectic on social media and cable news.

And now he’s stepping up media appearances — and caustic mocking of conservatives — in which his stroke-induced speech problems are fading.

.........SNIP"

Shit-posting and selling at the same time!

5. Changing the rules

So we can change the dress code rules in the middle of a session, but not change the rules to end Tuberville's nonsense? Hmm. Clearly I don't have the depth of intellect to play this 3d-chess that's going on here.

6. The dress code wasn't really a codified rule

it was more an "informal/traditional" rule that had been provided to the Sargeant-at-Arms to "enforce".

The end of the dress code? What it means that the Senate is relaxing clothing rules

U.S. senators no longer have to dress to impress. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday that staff for the chamber’s Sergeant-at-Arms will no longer be tasked with enforcing a dress code on the Senate floor.

"There has been an informal dress code that was enforced," Schumer said in a statement Monday, without mentioning Fetterman by name. "Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit."

But some etiquette experts said the lowering of the bar in terms of dress code in the Senate shouldn't be surprising given how much casual attire has taken hold in many U.S. workplaces, especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and with more people working from home.

Richard Thompson Ford, a Stanford University law professor in California and author of the book, "Dress Codes: How the Laws of Fashion Made History," said the nation will have to see how the new Senate dress code plays out. "It’s simply acknowledged that the norms of professional dress have changed," Ford said in an email to USA TODAY.
