Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress.

If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature ...

@@kimfoster999 I think that’s the point. That he or anyone else would see this level of disrespect and commonality in “congress “ should be unthinkable. We have become too“okay” with formality, manners and respectfulness being relaxed in all environments. There is no longer anywhere, where those traits are expected or required without exception. There was a time when the phrase “you know how to act in public” was understood. There is a difference in how you acted at home and how you acted in school, church, court or any place like that. A sense of decorum has been dying for years, decades even. Which is why we have seen the degradation of society as we see it today, sadly. You start lowering your expectations of people eventually you find you have no expectations of people. It’s sad!
