      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Senate Restores Formal Dress Code


          A resolution to reinstate the Senate dress code passed in the chamber unanimously Wednesday night, following more than a week of Republican backlash against the decision to drop the standards.

          Lawmakers in the chamber will be required to wear business attire, including coats, ties, and slacks for men, and dresses and suits for women, as a result of the resolution introduced last week by Senators Joe Manchin and Mitt Romney. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer revoked the informal rules earlier this month after Democratic senator John Fetterman routinely started showing up in casual garb such as hoodies and basketball shorts.

          “Though we’ve never had an official dress code, the events over the past week have made us all feel as though formalizing one is the right path forward,” Schumer said on the chamber floor Wednesday.

          In response to the restoration of the formal dress code, Fetterman released a statement consisting only of a photo of Kevin James as the character Doug Heffernan in the hit sitcom, The King of Queens, according to NBC News.

          Republican senator Chuck Grassley, who railed against the initial relaxation of the dress code, wrote on X after the final vote came down: “Senate dress code is restored passing senate unanimously 2nite Thankfully Sen Schumer’s unprecedented decision was overruled by the will of the senate. God bless COMMON SENSE.”

            A unanimous decision? So Fetterman gave in, too?

              The nyt piece said Manchin was in communication with him to get him on board.

              Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                Can't they declare "unanimous consent" without a vote?

                So, unanimous may not mean everyone.

                  Actually that would be pretty cool if senators had to wear togas like Rome 2,000 years ago.

                  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                    Chances are the Romans thought as much or even more about their togas then than we do about our suites and ties today, yet the togas have given way to something else. So too will our suits and ties.

                      Hopefully not hoodies and gym shorts.

                      To change the rules for one guy is absurd.
