And where is Rep John Bradley in his suit?
- A guy - Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 3:44 pm:
A month from now I can wear the shorts instead of the long pants that came with the suit.
- Anonin' - Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 3:46 pm:

Dring may or may not have already changed into a different suit…
- Hedley Lamarr - Thursday, May 14, 15 @ 4:31 pm:

TAN SEERSUCKER!! We traditionalist only wear blue seersucker, AFTER Memorial Day!

It’s too cold for seersucker. Should have waited until July or August.
Of course they’ll still be in session!
