This week, Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth became the first sitting senator to give birth. Because a Senator must be present to vote, she had to bring the kid onto the Senate floor soon after and this required a rule change. The rules were changed but couldn't you have anticipated that several old male Republicans would have a problem with this?
Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah asked one of those science-fiction, never-gonna-happen Slippery Slope questions that people come up with when they can't come up with a real argument against something they just plain want to oppose. He asked, "What if there are ten babies on the floor of the Senate?" All I can think of is that the average level of maturity in that place would go way up.
