Handmaid's Tale in Missouri?

[Wahoo Redux]

There is a huge difference between laws, rules, and customs.  What is the historical evolution of these dress codes?  I'm curious about when dress codes were introduced into the Missouri legislative code and how these directives might have changed.  Is or was there a problem being addressed?  Granted, a female legislator casting a vote in her bikini might prove distracting to certain male colleagues, but then again, whose problem would that be, really?  Maybe the men of Missouri lack proper impulse control.  Who knew?

Do you really want to see the male legislators in Speedos?

Yes.  Think of the advantages.

https://www.house.gov/watch-houselive would actually get viewership. 

Late Night TV would have an endless stream of material.

And we might get some really physically fit politicians for a change.

I'm supposing these are the same people who wouldn't let their children read Harry Potter, but advocate the use of vitamins and essential oils as medical prescriptions.  Potions class much?  Better be pulling that log out your eye, bro.
