As if Democrats still needed to prove that they are obsessed with lowering or eliminating all standards, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) just scrapped the Senate dress code. There is no good reason to kill the dress code, and he should reinstate it.
Until last weekend, men were required to wear a jacket and tie on the Senate floor. The Senate likes to think of itself as the “world’s greatest deliberative body,” with just 100 men and women working there for the 335 million people who inhabit the greatest nation on Earth. They handle tremendous democratic responsibilities. Surely it is not too much to ask that they reflect the gravity of the office granted to them by dressing with dignity.
Applied to crime fighting, the theory of “broken windows” policing, which held that it was important to combat even the “small stuff” such as vandalism and graffiti, turned New York City in the 1990s from a crime-ridden horror to one of the safest big cities in the world. The obvious reason it is now being killed is to accommodate Sen. John Fetterman , the handicapped stroke victim who wears a hoodie and shorts for preference and claims he finds semiformal wear somehow triggering. The truth, however, is that Fetterman’s garb is a political shtick. A child of wealth and privilege, he adopted his slovenly dress to portray himself as an “everyman” when running for mayor of the tiny town of Braddock. His slovenliness long preceded his stroke.
