Resistance strikes the Senate over the new dress code, what Mark Steyn calls the United States Senate's embrace of 'Fetterman chic.'

Democrats are destroying America at a fast enough rate. They don’t have to destroy basic decorum in the Senate, too.

HotAir   "Finally. It looks like Democrats realize that changing the rules for one senator out of 100 is not the thing to do. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tossed out the dress code that has been in place forever and decided senators can wear whatever they want to wear on the Senate floor.

"Schumer instructed the staff of the Sergeant-at-Arms (the Senate’s clothes police) to stop enforcing the dress code. Republicans spoke out right away, saying it was the end of decorum and the lowering of long-held standards. Democrats, though, did what they do best. They held together. The only one speaking out was Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) who mocked critics and said he was pleased with the change.

"Fetterman doesn’t like to wear suits so he doesn’t. He wears gym shorts, hoodies, and sneakers to work in the Senate. He looks completely out of place and slovenly. It is as if he is cosplaying as a teen going to the gym.

"Then, lo and behold, the silence of Democrats began to break. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), the Senate Democrat Majority Whip, spoke out. Durbin speaking out against Schumer is very rare. That means his words will carry weight. Durbin said that the Senate must reverse Schumer’s unilateral decision. “I’m concerned about it. You know, the Senator in question from Pennsylvania is a personal friend,” Durbin told SiriusXM host Steve Scully in a clip from “The Briefing with Steve Scully,” which is set to air in full on Friday." . . .
