The US Senate just changed its dress code, to allow Senator Fetterman to wear his trademark slovenly hoodies:
Now, other than the traditional case of “showing respect for the seriousness of the job you’ve [oh, Lord, we’re talking about Fetterman, aren’t we?] entrusted with”, I don’t care all that much about dress codes. But that respect is kind of important – and slowing the collapse of that respect, for the Senate and all institutions, is a pretty important mission these days.
But that’s another post.
At any rate – when the Democrat caucus says “Jiump”, Tina Smith is there to say “off what, and how high?”
If Senator Fetterman starts urinating on the plinths around the Capitol [1], Smith will be there to dismiss social norms on bladder control as “patriarchy”.
