U.S. Senate unanimously passes formal dress code after uproar
(www.axios.com)
popularity contest for the upper class
How much did this process cost in taxpayer money?
This directive seemed like a trap from Schumer which invited Republicans and conservative Democrats to show off how out-of-touch they are with millennials and Gen Z. Looks like they fell for it.
Really doing important work there in the Senate. Putting on a good show of how connected and in touch they are with the people.

You mean no more antler helmets?
The rules don't specify "no antler helmets" and if Air Bud has taught me everything it is that if it isn't banned it's legal.
Counter proposal, every member must wear formal dresses. You can have your formal attire, but you're not going to like it.
As long as they all have to wear fancy hats like at the Kentucky Derby too. Even though I think there's nearly nothing redeeming about Lindsey Graham I imagine he'd have the fanciest hat of them all.
